From an unidentified, undated newspaper clipping:
"Miss Abigail Mottice was born October 4, 1833 in Sandy Township and died at Waynesburg, October 9, 1914; age 81 years and 5 days.
"At the age of 15 years she united with the Presbyterian Church of Waynesburg, Ohio and remained a faithful member until her death. She possessed a deep religious nature. In her lifetime she had many opportunities to put into practice the life which she professed. This she never failed to do with the tenderest devotion.
"From a family of ten, Miss Mottice was the last to survive. Her life will ever be a benediction to all who knew her. She leaves to mourn nephews and nieces and many friends. Funeral services were held at the Presbyterian Church October 11, at 2:00 o'clock."
