Shular - Cora - Montgomery InGenWeb Project

Death when it comes to any home and dissevers the golden chain which unites a happy family is sad, but in this case it is especially sad, as this lovely young lady was the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Shular. Cora was born near Crawfordsville July 10, 1880, and died at 6 a.m. Sunday. She united with the Missionary Baptist Church when about 15 years of age and her beautiful Christian character shines forth as a brilliant star, pointing others to the better land where she now dwells. She leaves behind to mourn her untimely death a devoted father, mother, one brother and numerous friends, one sister and brother having preceded her to the spirit world. She has been a patient sufferer from consumption for more than three years, but during all this time was kind and patient, and attended Sabbath school when she was so weak she would have to stop on the road and rest. Her Sabbath school teacher told the writer of one occasion when this Christian girl was called to the country. She went a mile out of the city and recited her lessons to her teacher before going, so devoted was she to her Christian work. Her parents and brother have the sympathy of the entire community. We can only comfort them by saying, “Lean on Him who gave you this lovely child, and emulate her example.”

The funeral occurred last Monday conducted by Rev. Runyan, of the Baptist Church, the Baptist choir singing two beautiful hymns, “Asleep in Jesus,” and “We’ll never Say Good Bye in Heaven,” after which the remains were taken to Cold Springs, near Veedersburg, for burial on Tuesday morning -s
