Published Friday, April 22, 1887 Augusta's citizens were called upon to mourn over
the sudden death of three of her people last week. Two of them
were sisters, both widows -- Mrs. Mary Pottorf and Mrs. Mattie
DeFord -- the latter the mother of O. P. DeFord. They were
well up in years and had families grown up. Both decided
recently to visit their children. The latter went to Kansas,
and from thence to Iowa, where she died at a daughter's very
suddenly. Meantime, the former was visiting her son in Carroll
county and she also sickened and died. The remains were
interred at Herrington Church, near Augusta -- both died on the 13th
