At her home in Calhan, Colo., Sept. 27, 1894, Olive Davis Furrow, in the 55th year of her age.
Sister Furrow was born in Sullivan Co., Indiana. At the age of twenty she removed with her parents to Clinton Co., Iowa, where she was married, in 1871, to John Furrow. Since that time she has lived with her husband and family in North Loup, Neb., Taney, Idaho, and Fouke, Arkansas. From Fouke she removed with her family to Calhan about eighteen months ago. For several years she has suffered much at times from liver complaint, which finally caused her death. She has seen much of hardship incident to pioneer life but she early committed her ways unto the Lord, confident that he would direct them in truth. The light of her constant, steadfast faith has been an inspiration and strength to the little church of which she was a loyal member. She leaves a husband, two sons and three daughters, besides several sisters and brothers to mourn her departure.
