Her Obituary
Mrs. George Paul died Friday evening May 21, after an illness of about two years.
She was born in Cornwall, England, July 3, 1817. Her maiden name was Betsy P. Rundell. She was married to Mr. George Paul, June 14, 1845. After their marriage, they resided for eight years at Portsmouth, England. They arrived in this county in the fall of 1853. For thirty-six years, they resided in Mitchell Hollow, moving to the city of Platteville in the fall of 1893.
Four children were born to them, William C., now living in Iowa, James Hoskin, who died when four years old, Sarah R and James Hoskin. Her husband and three of their children survive to mourn her loss.
Mrs. Paul was a lifelong Christian, having been converted and received into the church in her girlhood. She was a member of the Primitive Methodist Church of Platteville forty-four years. While her health permitted, she was a regular attendant at the services of her church and was always deeply interested in its work. She was an eager learner of Christian truth and sought to exemplify the principles of the gospel in her daily walk and conversation. In her last illness, when she suffered much, she was strengthened and comforted by her faith in her heavenly Father. A quiet, unobtrusive, kind Christian woman, she has now entered into the Christian reward.
The funeral was conducted from the family residence, Monday, May 24, at 2 P.M. Rev. John Hardcastle and Rev. C.A. Wight officiating. A large number of sympathizing friends and neighbors were in attendance.
