*Illegitimate son of Mary Ann and Richard McKee.

Mrs. Mary Ann Kester was found dead in bed at her home, corner of Centre and Nesquehoning streets, this morning. She was about yesterday, but did not appear this morning, as usual, and a neighbor forced open a window and found her lying dead on her bed.

The deceased was 73 years old and a resident of South Easton for many years and is survived by three children; Mrs. Wm Roseberry, of Easton; and William Kester and Richard McKee of this place.

Evidence in a testimonial by Mary Ann Kester for Rosanna Stocker indicated she couldn't read and write. She signed her name with an x. Mary testified that Rosanna Stocker was the mother of Jacob Amandus Stocker who died shortly after the civil war due to an illness he received.
