Wife of David Huston Hemphill.
Obit:
Departed this life on February 1st 1882, at the residence of her son, F. M. Hemphill, in Lincoln Township, Mrs. Elizabeth C., wife of D. H. Hemphill, with congestion of the lungs, aged 71 years and 22 days.
Mother Hemphill was born in Illinois, when her parents were emigrating from South Carolina to St. Louis county, Missouri, where they lived eight years. Thence to Pike county, Missouri, and to Jasper county, Iowa, in 1873, and thence to this county in 1879. Deceased was reared in the faith of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, of which she was a consistent member--by precept and example--and breathed her last in peace with the world and her "Lord and Master".
The deceased was laid away, in her quiet sleep of death, in the Evergreen cemetery, near Anita, by a large concourse of sympathizing neighbors and friends, who there paid tribute to a kind hearted friend, wife, and mother. The afflicted broken-hearted husband lay prostrate on his deathbed, while the sorrowing children and friends followed to the grave the life-long companion of his early and continued love. O! How sad is death with such surroundings.
