Oldest eastern Indiana woman dies in Muncie at 105
Mrs. Gabrilla Havens, reportedly eastern Indiana's oldest woman, died last Thursday at her daughter Mrs. David Peck's home ten miles north of Muncie. She celebrated her 105th birthday in February and expressed admiration for the automobile. A two cent gasoline tax law passed by the state legislature takes effect June 1, with rebates possible for non-vehicular use. The upcoming peach crop is predicted to exceed last year's record, aided by ideal weather and careful orchard care. Notices include a Wash ington District Duroc Jersey Breeders meeting on May 21 in Washington, Ind., and notes on local attendees Pauline DeMotte, Huette Poindexter, and the Indiana Funeral Directors Association.
