Waverly Journal, Aug. 10, 1905
Meacham
Mary Ann Hutchison, daughter of James and Eletha Hutchison, was born in Waverly, Ill., September 25, 1837, departed this life at her home in Waverly, 2 p.m., Saturday, August 5, 1905, being 67 years, 10 months and 14 days in age.
After the death of her father in 1851, she made her hoe with a brother, Wm. Hutchison, until her marriage to Mr. C. B. Meacham, April 3, 1856. No children were granted to this union, but they reared from infancy and adopted as their own a daughter, Laurie H. Meacham, who, after a beautiful life, was called to her heavenly home, June 20, 1887. The husband of the deceased, a brother, Mr. John Hutchison of Waverly, a half sister, Mrs. Linda Cole of St. Louis, and two half brothers, David Hutchison of Jacksonville, and Sam'l Hutchison of Girard, mourn her going and wait the day when all shall meet again on the other shore.
Mrs. Meacham's father was a useful and honored local preacher, whose influence over his children could but be for good. It was but natural that this daughter, in 1856, being in the nineteenth year of age, under the preaching of the pastor, A. S. McCoy, gave her heart to God and united with the Methodist Episcopal church. She became an active worker in the church of her choice, singing in the choir and being for some time its leader.
During the last two years of her life failing health kept her closely at home. The final illness brought her to her bed a little less than two weeks before the end came; but for the greater of this time death was momentarily expected. She understood her condition and as ready and willing, even eager, to go. Her conversation was of Christ. Her testimony was clear and bright. There was no fear. There was the glad confidence that all should be well. When her pastor tried to sing, she in her weakness sang with him. When he read the word she, from memory, recited the passage read. While he prayed, she, too, was praying aloud; and her Good bye was this: Tell everybody it's all right. "The Savior," she said at another time, "was with me last night in bodily presence, ". She is with Him now.
