These survive and were with her to minister to her every want during her long illness. She was a faithful member of the Scott's Prairie Christian Church, having united with that body of disciples under the minister of Elder James Conner who buried her with her Lord in baptistm in August 1880. Francis Ovilla Glascock lived a simple life. She cared nothing for pomp or show. To be a plain Christian woman, a devoted wife and mother was her ambition. She was cheerful in sickness and patient in suffering. Her greatest concern was for the comfort and welfare of her friends and loved ones. She manifested a deep and an abiding sympathy with the unfortunate and the distressed. Her faith in her Saviour was unfaltering. She believed the gospel was for the whole wide world and one of her last acts was to reach a feeble and trembling hand into her own purse and make an offering to foreign missions. In her religious belief and in her manner of living she was chairtable to all those who differed with her. She made her own arrangements for her funeral services and burial, even to naming the place of burial, the kind of casket and grave stone, all of which is to be in keeping with her wish. Few children have had a more devoted mother, few husbands have had a more faithful companion; in death hers is the gain, theirs the loss. The funeral was held at 10:30 o'clock this Friday morning, service being conducted in Scott's Prairie Church by Rev. O.W. McMains. - kbz
