RATCLIFF, Nancy C. Sowers - Fountain County INGenWeb Project

Nannie Caroline Sowers, only daughter of Solomon & Emeline Sowers was born Nov 24, 1858 and died March 29, 1912 aged 53Y4M5D. She was marr. to William M. Ratcliff April 20 1882. Their life together proved to be one of happiness and devotion - a life divined by God. But alas in the sweetest of sunshine there are shadows, and God has cast gloom over the life of this devoted husband, when he sees fit to call his companion to that great beyond. We have been left sad and heartbroken, but we know He needed her in His vineyard - it was His will, not ours, be done. Sister Ratcliff sought & found her savior in early life and lived a true Christian until He called her home. More than a year ago her health began to decline and it seemed that all helping hands could do was of no avail. At last, thinking a change might revive her, she was removed to the home of her daughter, in Delhart, Tx where for a time it was thought she would fully recover; but again God called and was answered in a very short time. She leaves to mourn her loss a heartbroken husband, four children - Clem E, Lulu M, Ethel D and Claude Ratcliff - besides a host of relatives and friends.
