Published in the Rochester(IN) News-Sentinel, Friday, July 26, 1929
Mrs. Mary A. RUSSELL, 91 years of age, died at the home of her son, Lester HEETER, Ohio Street, East Rochester, at 7:00 o'clock Thursday evening. Death resulted from complications inherent with advanced years from which she had suffered for the past three months. The deceased had been a resident of Rochester and the immediate vicinity for practically all of her life. Mary A. [WAGONER], daughter of William and Mary WAGONER, was born on a farm in Miami county on Nov. 15, 1837, and upon reaching maturity was united in marriage to John B. HEETER who preceded her in death. Two sons, Francis [HEETER] and Leslie HEETER, both of this city, survive this union. The deceased later married Zane RUSSELL and raised five stepchildren. Mr. Russell passed away about seven years ago. Mrs. Russell was a member of the Church of God and was an active worker in this religious organization until overtaken by ill health. Funeral services in charge of Rev. OLDEN of Akron will be held at the White church, Athens, Sunday morning at 10:30 o'clock. Burial will be made in the Athens cemetery.
