On Friday night, August 18, 1893 Mrs. Elizabeth C. Vermillion, wife of Isaiah Vermillion of this city died at the family residence on East Seminary Street this city after a painful illness of about two weeks. Deceased has been much wearied and fatigued in caring for her little daughter, Hazel, during her recent fatal illness and was barely able to bear the strain of sickness following so quickly from the first she failed and soon came her departure hence to join Hazel and those “gone before.”   The husband and children and other relatives thus doubly bereaved in so short a time have the fullest and most earnest sympathy of a host of friends. May He who only can so lighten their grief burdens that what seemeth gloom may be turned into gladness may the Comforter be with and abide in them until at the last they all anchor in that haven of rest prepared by Him for His people.  Mrs. Vermillion was born in this county in 1837; the daughter of Elder McCamey Elliott and wife. She was united in marriage to Isaiah Vermillion in 1865; 8 children were born to them, five of whom preceded the mother to the grave and three with the stricken husband live to mourn the loss of a loving wife and good mother. The funeral which was very largely attended took place on Sunday afternoon from the family residence, Dr. WD Hill conducting the service. -kz
