As the result of a stroke of apoplexy, Mrs. Ursula E. WEBB, one of the most estimable citizens of Greene County and one who had been a resident of this county more than half a century, was called to her reward last Friday evening at 8:30 o'clock, two hours after receiving the fatal stroke. Death occurred at the home of her daughter, Mrs. John MCLAUGHLIN at Koleen
She had been in declining health for the last few years, having suffered two previous strokes of apoplexy, and for several months had been quite feeble. But on the day of her death she had been unusually bright and active and apparently felt better than she had for many weeks. She insisted on helping her daughter with the house work, and late in the afternoon she went into her own room and sat down to cut some carpet rags. When supper was ready Mrs. MCLAUGHLIN called her but received no response. She hurried into the room to find her mother prostrate on the floor, and it was soon evident that the end was not far off. The children were immediately summoned by phone, and two hours later the devoted mother had answered the call of the Master whose faithful follower she had been for more that three score years.
Her maiden name was MOORE, and she was born at Mooresfield, Ohio, February 3, 1834; died September 27, 1907; aged seventy-three years, seven months and twenty-four days.
When she was only about six or eight months old her mother died; about a year later her father died; and a short time afterwards two children of the family passed away leaving only herself and her brother, William R. MOORE, who survives her.
Fifty-eight years ago she was united in marriage to Thomas EDINGTON and about fifty-one years ago they came from Ohio to Indiana to make their home. To this union were born eight children, two dying in infancy. The others are still living and mourn the loss of a kind and noble mother. The surviving children are: Leroy W. W. EDINGTON, of Midland; Mrs. John MCLAUGHLIN, of Koleen; Sheriff William W. EDINGTON, Mrs. William E. MANSFIELD, and Elijah W. EDINGTON, of Bloomfield; and Thomas L. EDINGTON, south of Koleen. Four of her children were at her bedside when she passed away, and all were present at the funeral.
She is also survived by twenty-four grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren; all of whom, except four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, attended the funeral.
Death robbed her of her companion January 13, 1874, and in 1883 she was again united in marriage, this time to William WEBB, who died about ten years ago.
Since childhood she had been a devoted Christian and a loyal member of the M. E. church. Her brother stated at the funeral that he distinctly remembered her first public testimony. It was at STAFFORD'S Church in Coshocton County, Ohio, when she was a girl of only twelve, and she said she expected to meet temptation but prayed that she would not be tempted above that she was able to bear. And the last public expression of her love for the Savior was at the "Old Folks" service here at the M. E. church last Sunday before she passed away.
She was an excellent woman whose lifetime of good works won for her the confidence and esteem of all with whom she associated.
Her only brother, William R. MOORE, of Kansas City, was here and in her company the last few weeks of her life, and they were happy in each other's presence. He came unexpectedly to her and to the other relatives, had finished his visit and everything was in readiness for him to start home on the train next morning when the death summons came to his sister.
The funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at two o'clock from the Walnut Grove Church, conducted by the Rev. W. J. ELLIS, of Solsberry, in the presence of a large assembly of relatives and friends and the remains were laid to rest in the cemetery at that place.
