          Mrs. Nancy Sylvester, age 84, mother of  Mrs. Albert Holmes, of this city, died Friday morning at her home in Noblesville.  Mrs. Sylvester had been in failing health for the past four years. Death was due to complications incidental to her age.

          Mrs. Sylvester was a member of the Prairie Baptist church in Hamilton county, where funeral services will be held, the exact time to be set later.  Burial will be made in the Prairie cemetery in charge of C.F. Fix & Son.
