Colvin---Funeral services for Mrs. Mary Ann Colvin will be held Monday morning at 10 o'clock from the residence, Rev. J. H. McCartney officiating; interment at Lindenwood.

"I remember Uncle Joe Colvin. My great grandmother, Mary Ann Colvin, lived with Uncle Joe and Aunt Ella in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. My mother, Jim and I visited them. They had children born dead or soon after birth, but none that lived. I couldn't stand Aunt Ella. She made Grandma stay upstairs afraid she'd dirty her house. She sewed carpet rags."

"Henry Colvin's mother was Pennsylvania Dutch, a short, heavy set woman. She couldn't read or write. (Many couldn't in those days--especially women.) Her husband wanted to teach her, but she thought she didn't have time to study. (She regretted this in later life. She'd have me and my sisters read things under pictures she'd looked at, when we'd go to see her.) She was a good house wife and mother and did lots of work (women had to in those days).

Their children, Henry, Bert, duplicates of their mother especially in build, Joe and Katheryn tall and stately like their father (quite aristocratic). They may have had other children. These I know of Joe, we considered wealthy, lived in Ft. Wayne, and there is where we visited their mother (my great grandmother) and she died there. Aunt Kate (as mother called her) (Katherine Coolman) lived in California (well to do). She visited us two different times and was planning to come again when she had a stroke and soon passed away on April 27, 1959. She was 93 years, 6 months, a delightful and dignified lady. We loved her. She had a daughter and son still living, I've never met."

(I wonder if Mary Ann Pyle had a sister named Mary. Nellie Malott found a record of a Mary S. Pyle, born July 27, 1827, and died August 25, 1973 (1873?). Or this may have been some other relative. I wonder if this was a twin sister of Mary Ann Pyle. If not, I think Mary Ann must have been born June 27, 1827, instead of July 27, 1829.)

The following is a reference from the 1830 Indiana Census index:

Pyle, Jessie Fran 304 No Twp L

A Mr. J. M. Pyle was a minister at the Church of Christ, Jefferson Township (Whitley County, Indiana)

Above sources were given to me by Dorothy Estelle

According to chuch records Mary A. Colvin wife of John R., was a charter member of the West Creighton Avenue Church (Disciples of Christ), having joined the church in 1896. The church is at the corner of Creighton and Miner Streets, one block east of Broadway. They have no record of when she left the church, but she was included in printed membership directories in 1898 and 1905. They had two differant address for her: 71 Wagner & 103 Spy Run. It seems that these addresses are on the old numbering system.

According to the 1850 Indiana Federal Census Mary Ann was born in Ohio and that she was 22 years of age making her being born in 1828
