"The widow of Thomas Elder and her oldest daughter, Nancy, passed the last years of their lives in Bardstown. I remember them well, and of wondering, as I saw them creeping with feeble steps to and from church, which of the two was the older. They were greatly venerated, as much by the clergy as by the laity, and the peaceful deaths they had hoped and prayed for from childhood to extreme old age, came to them at length. The daughter died in 1842, aged 70 years. The death of the mother, at the advanced age of 98 years, took place on the 30th day of August, 1848."
