Death Notice, The Odon Journal, Odon, Indiana, Saturday, April 11, 1896, page 3:
"Raglesville, Ind.
Death has again visited our little city and taken from among us, "Aunt" Malinda
Jane Elswick, who was born Jan. 3rd, 1830 and departed this life April 5th, 1896. She was
sixty-six years, three months and two days old. Early in life she was converted and
joined the M. E. church, in which she lived a faithful member until death.
She was married to Jos. W. Wadsworth Feb. 3rd, 1853. To them were born nine children,
four of whom died in childhood.
Her sickness lasted for several weeks and at times great suffering. Her funeral services
were conducted by her pastor, at the M. E. church, Monday Jan. {APRIL} 6th. at 2 P. M.
She was ready for the summons, "Child come home." She rests from her labors and
her works do follow her. The entire community extends their sympathy to the bereaved
family."
