       Anyone having  seen the  first issue of TPC will recall the front
       page story about Lovey Hearing. This obituary for her was sent to
       me by  Cris Reed  of the  Morgan County, OGS. Note the mention of
       her step-daughter  Jane Petet. This is certainly the wife of Alva
       Petet, who  was possibly  a nephew  of Lovey's  (see p.  23, July
       1988). Porterville is in Perry County just across the county line
       from Morgan County.

                      Aged Ninety-Nine Mrs. Lovey Hearing
                        Nearly Reached the Century Mark
                                
           from the Morgan County Democrat, Friday, 1 November 1907

       Mrs. Lovey Hearing, widow of David Hearing of Porterville, passed
       away Thursday morning. She was in her 99th year. The deceased has
       been a  resident of  Porterville for  the past seventy five years
       and has  always been  admired and respected by all who have known
       her. There  are left  to mourn  the death  of their parents, nine
       children. They  are Thomas,  Valentine and William Appleman, Mrs.
       Margaret Rogers,  Mrs. J.L.  Haines, Mrs. C.M. Laughlin and Lewis
       and  Harold  Hearing.  Besides  these  there  are  several  step-
       children, among  whom are  C.F. Hearing  and Mrs.  Jane Petet  of
       Zanesville. The  funeral services were conducted Friday afternoon
       from the  Zion Church  at Porterville at 1 o'clock. The interment
       was made in the Zion Cemetery.
