Montrose - The boys should not forget that Saturday evening is All Hallowe'en and as we know they are very liable to overlook it we mention it so there will be no disappointed youngsters.

AND Miss Jane Post, the daughter of the late Major Isaac [one of the first settlers of Montrose] and Susanna (Hinds) Post was born in Montrose November 14th, 1820. Her brothers were William L., Albert L., Isaac L. and George L. and her only sister was Elizabeth V. (Mrs. G. Z. Dimock). Three score years ago the Major Post homestead was on the corner of Church and South Main Streets, where the Boyd store building now stands. In youth, Miss Post was beautiful and attractive not only by her personal charms, but by her intellectual unselfish and religious character. Her unmarried life was from choice, for more than one worthy man would gladly have won her hand. At an early age she united with the Montrose Baptist church and was active in the choir and Sabbath School. After the family was broken up she lived for many years among friends in Scranton, but the last four or five were spent at the home of Mrs. W. L. Cox in Montrose. In this home Miss Post was contented and happy, appreciating all the loving care bestowed upon her. Her mind grew feeble, but it was only during the last week that there was a marked change. The end came peacefully and quietly at 11 o'clock on Sabbath morning, October 25th, 1903.The bearers were Isaac Post, a nephew, Charles Post, a grand nephew, W. H. Jessup, W. H. Warner, W. S. Mulford and W. C. Cox. The interment was in the Post family lot in Montrose cemetery.
