1874. To this union were born four children, two of whom died in infancy. Two
daughters, Bertha and Ollie, were spared to extend kind and loving hands in
administering to their mother during her last illness. As a wife and mother she
was kind and considerate, her constant study being to make the home happy and
being of a home-loving disposition, she succeeded well. Besides her husband and
two daughters, she leaves two sisters and two brothers, four half sisters and
one half brother and an aged father. Several years ago she became a member of
the United Brethren Church at Mt. Hebron and has since lives an exemplary life.
Dearest mother thou hast left us, Never shall thy memory fade, Sweetest
thoughts shall ever linger Round the grave where thou art laid. We miss thee,
Oh, we miss thee, But we trust when this life is o’er We in joy and peace may
greet thee On that Bright and Happy shore.
The funeral services was held at the Putnamville ME Church Monday May 6,
1912 at 10 a.m. conducted by Rev. Chadwick of Greencastle. Burial was in the
