OBITUARIES
TRUMBO---Our dear mother passed away from earth on the fourteenth day of November 1871, (lacking only eight days of completing her seventy-nineth year), in great peace in Jesus Christ our Lord.
She died of the black tongue typhoid fever, in the city of Springfield, Ohio. Her funeral was preached by Rev. Timothy Wans of the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which church she lived an upright Christian for sixty-seven years, having identified herself with said church at the age of twelve years. The services were conducted in the Methodist Episcopal Church at Donnelsville, west of Springfield. In the vicinity of the above named place, she requested to be buried; because the most of her children resided there. Her last sickness was at intervals attended with great suffering, but death came in the end, greatly and softly, without much apparent suffering, and took her away from all sorrowing and sighing.
Mary Trumbo was the consort of Levi Trumbo, deceased, of West Virginia, who died before the war. She lived a widow nearly twelve years with her children in Ohio. But she lived the most of her life in West Virginia, in Pendleton County. Her birth dates November 22, 1792. She was the daughter of Rev. Moses Henkle Sen., formerly of Pendleton Co., West Virginia on the south branch of the Potomac; but in his latter years was a resident of Clarke Co., O. She belonged to a large Christian family, had nine brothers, six of whom were ministers, and one sister. She was the last surviver, and the last to die, of this large family. Parents and children are now all in the happy spirit world.
Our mother was a woman of strong mind and strong will, She was therefore, not, a spasmodical Christian, but a habitual lover of Divine Truth, in doctrines, promises, and precepts. She was very decided and firm in her religious opinions and belief. Nor did her faith fail her or her religious enjoyment vanish in her last hours of affliction. I here pen for the benefit of the reader, a wonderful manifestation of the heavenly world, made to her just before she took seriously ill. She, resting upon her bed, and her daughter with whom she was living hearing her make a peculiar noise, went to her bed-room, and found her sitting upright with her eyes wide open, and her hands clenched, and stretch out before her, exclaiming: "O! what beautiful lights I see, one in each hand; don't you see them!" Then turning her eyes as to look at something at a great distance, she exclaimed again: "What a beautiful world I see! And what beautiful people I see there! I will soon be there!" "Who are they?" asked my sister, to which she replied, "They are too far off to tell." And when she awoke from the vision of the heavenly world, she was in an extacy of joy, repeating, "O! How good I feel!"
The day before she died, she awoke from her stupor. Then said one of her sons to her: "Almost over the river mother." "Yes" said she, "One more step, one step more and I will be over." This last step has been taken over the river of death, and a mother's freed spirit, washed in the blood of Jesus, bounded away, high over the plateans of that beautiful world, in company with the beautiful, which her spiritual vision described on this side the river. One son and one daughter passed away before her, and five sons and two daughters remain to follow after her. All her children rise up to call her blessed, for her influence has been strong over them, even from childhood.
