Nancy Francis Colliver only daughter of Samuel and Susan Colliver was born near Winchester, Clark County, KY Dec 16, 1846. She came to this county with her parents in ’52,and with the exception of one year has been a resident continuously up to the time of her death. In the year 1867 she became a member of the Regular Baptist Church and was baptized by Elder Wm. Rupard of Kentucky who was one of the favorite ministers and especial friends of her father’s family. Since that time she had followed her Saviour in that earnest, devoted way which made her a living witness to the power of His Grace to keep and sustain under all circumstances and she could truly say, “I can bear all things through Christ who strengtheneth me.” Just a few days before her death in conversation with a dear friend she said: “I do not fear death, I have that faith in Jesus to know he will give dying grace when he is ready to take me home.” Those who knew her as a school girl shall always remember her bright and happy face; ever ready to join in their pleasures as well as to enter with the deepest sympathy into all their disappointments. Her many friends could truly say of her, “to know her was to love her.” She was united in marriage to Daniel T. Darnall Nov 19, 1867. This union has been one of perfect harmony. They truly became one in spirit and in thought, which made their journey through life a happy one. To them were born four children, three sons and one daughter. It has pleased our heavenly father to take their eldest son, Leslie and their second son, William from the family circle several years before He called the mother home. The father with the only daughter, Cora and Thomas the youngest son are left. Thu the circle is equally divided by that mysterious but merciful Hand which “doeth all things well.” Many days of this mother’s were spent in suffering. Yet she bore it all with perfect submission; and even when in great pain, she made the greatest effort to conceal it from her friends by a pleasant smile and cheerful greeting. In addition to her own family she leaves an aged father and mother and three brothers to mourn her absence. She was an obedient and amiable daughter, a kind and gentle sister; a faithful and devoted wife; a patient and loving mother. Such is the record she left behind when her spirit took its flight, April 24, 1896 to enter into that perfect rest prepared for all who have “fought the good fight” and “finished the faith.”
