She was married to Elijah M. Marsh, January 22, 1866. The companion still lingers on time's side. They plodded life's journey over 63 years together, which is a long period. They were industrious, working well together, and lived happy, always enjoying each other's company. The separation can not be long until they will be reunited on the other side.
Five children were born to this union, namely: Nellie A., Laura J., Freddie, Charles P., and Sarah Frances. Nellie Walker and Charles survive; the others died in infancy.
She professed faith in her Lord in early life, and united with the Pleasant View church. She was also a firm believer in Bible Holiness. She did many kind acts in her long life, always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. She was devoted to her family, never feeling anything too hard to do for their comfort.
After the death of her son's wife, she assumed the care of the three small children remaining in her son's home, until the children were able to care for themselves. She leaves to mourn her loss, two children: Mrs. Davis* Walker, and Charles, residing in Clayton; five grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, a brother and two sisters; many nephews and nieces, and a host of friends. The funeral was conducted by Brother Lowe of the Christian denomination.
Farewell dear mother, we shall miss you,
All the rest of our earthly way,
But in Heaven we expect to meet thee,
When the mists are cleared away.
From a Quincy, Ill. Paper.
