Wealthy recluse seeks life beyond riches
The notice parodies a late 19th century obituary and medical ad text. It mentions Mrs. Rebecca Spitler of Clinton dying July 3 and buried July 4, with her husband Jacob Spitler dying weeks earlier. It cites Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and various tonics, plus local business notices and upcoming events such as a Harrell Grove Fourth of July picnic.
