Monfort - Nancy Foster - Montgomery InGenWeb Project

Nancy M. Foster was born in Virginia May 5, 1819, and died at the home of her niece, Mrs. George McCay, at Garfield Jan. 22, 1899, aged seventy nine years, eight months and seventeen days. She was married to Aaron Monfort Feb. 21, 1851. He died Dec. 25, 1870, leaving her to fight the battle of life alone. She joined the Presbyterian Church in early life. She was kind, charitable and a friend to all. She bore her sickness with patience, gladly awaiting the time to hear that welcome plaudit, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant. Thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many. Enter thou into the joy of the lord.” She grappled with her last enemy, death, but hark, the conflict of life is over. She is victorious. She wore the shield of faith, the breast plat of righteousness. She has gained the victory and now she can look back and say, “Oh death, where is thy sting? Oh grave, where is thy victory?” – thanks so much to “S” for all her great obit work on this site
