NARRAGE VOW 5 EPT 0 YEAS L.one Survivor ot Four Farm Sisters Now Il With Pneumonia. By the Associated Press LAWRENCEVILLE, Ill, October 8.—Death has claimed two more of the Pinkstaff sisters and focused at- | tention on the single survivor of four women who kept a 60-year-old cove- nant that they would not marry. | The survivor—Mary Ann Pinkstaff, %3—is ill with pneumonia which re- cently took the lives of Clara Ann, 70. and Susie Ann, 86. Martha Ann died 40 years ago. Operated 180-Acre Farm. For the last quarter century Mary Ann, Clara Ann and Susie Ann oper- | ated their 180-acre farm on the banks of the Wabash River. The farm had belonged to their father, and before | that to his sire. No outside help was | employed. Grueling outdoor farm labor indirectly led to the recent deaths. | The no-marriage pledge was not taken through dearth of suitors. There were many. Susie Ann “kept company” with the same man for years, but refused to break the vow. | In recent years the sisters clung to the garb of the nineties. High-top shoes, long flowing skirts, *often of solid black but occasionally of flow- ered gingham or calico stiff-starched bonnets, were their attire. Divided Profits Equally. Strict accounting was kept of the profits from the farm and after each sale the three divided equally. Susie Ann was the manager. Mary Ann was the housekeeper and doer of chores and Clara Ann was in charge of the farm work. When major harvest work came, all three went to the fields. Thrift was the watchword of the German Pinkstaff “girls"—as they were known in Lawrence County—and neighbors talk of buried wealth, per=.| haps in gold. Their bank accounts ‘were small.
