The Funeral and Obituary of Mrs. George W. Tobias
The funeral of Mrs. G. W. Tobias was held from the home on last Friday afternoon, Rev. C. E. Hawkins officiating, assisted by Rev. Val Strubhar.
The following were among the relatives and friends from out of town who were in attendance: William G. Scott, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wilson, Dennis W. Tobias, Miss Lillie I. Long, Mrs. I. A. Folker and Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Jones, all of Peoria; Louisa -?- Bartlett, Aledo, Ill.; Mrs. W. H. Smith, Hopedale; Mrs. R. B. Ray and Mr. and Mrs. Bigger, El Paso; Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Danforth and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Pratt, Cropsey; Jessie Kent, Eureka; Mr. and Mrs. O'Grady, Chicago, and Mrs. Anna K. Cooper of Pekin.
The following obituary tribute was prepared by Miss Lillie Long:
Anna Martha Scott, daughter of J. Randolph and Asenath Hicks Scott, was born January 13, 1849, at the Scott farm four miles southeast of Washington, Tazewell county, Ill.
She died April 7, 1931, after a short illness. She received her education in the Greenridge and Jefferson district schools, the Washington Seminary, Tremont select school and the Metamora High school. Prof. Taft, father of Lorado Taft, was her instructor.
She was united in marriage to George Washington Tobias, at the parental home, by Rev. I. A. Cornelison, D. D., Oct. 8, 1874. They went to housekeeping in the home he had prepared for his bride, Nov. 5, 1874, where she resided until her death, except one year in Streator. Mr. Tobias passed away June 27, 1924.
Mrs. Tobias fell on the icy grass at her porch steps Jan. 22, 1929. Since that time she has been confined to her home, thereby depriving her of the many works of helpfulness in which she gladly engaged. Of late she had been improved in health. On Tuesday she had been unusually active in writing letters and in conversing with her sister, Miss Scott. She had eaten her supper and her sister had stepped out to see a party to do some work at the place, leaving her with the maid. When Miss Scott returned the young lady reported that Mrs. Tobias had suffered a fall, the time being 6:30. They got her on a chair and called in a neighbor and she was placed on her bed. They were not alarmed at first, but as she deemed to get weaker they called the doctor, who reported her condition serious, and she quickly passed away at 10:30 o'clock.
She leaves to mourn her loss two brothers, Lincoln Randolph Scott of Denver, Col., and William G. Scott of Peoria, Ill., one sister, Miss Emma Julia Scott, nieces, nephews and a large circle of friends.
The sun has set and the last glimmering rays have faded into the gathering coolness of evening.
Many years have come and gone since Anna Martha Scott was a child on the old home farm and the milestones of her life have been many since that time. Four score years and ten and then more have been added to round out a long life for her.
As she climbed life's pathway she was compelled to tarry o'er the hills for her health was frail and the journey at times was almost beyond her strength, but in the sheltered seclusion of her own home and was cared for by a devoted husband until his passing away January 27, 1934.
In the winter of 1929 in company with a cousin Mrs. Tobias made an extensive trip through Florida. It seemed to be the crowning event in the last years of her life.
She was always a woman of rare mental attributes, always keeping in touch with the problems of the age and ready to express her opinion for the right on any of the moral issues. She was a staunch advocate for prohibition and she never missed an opportunity of affiliating with that cause, but she will especially be remembered for her many acts of benevolence. Never parading the fact to the world, but in her quiet and unostentatious way giving of her means and money a well-filled bucket was sent by her to the homes of the needy.
Though she has gone her good deeds will live long in the memory of those she has helped by her kindness, and so she waith for the boatman on the banks of the river shoe distant shores leads to heaven, we can but exclaim with Tennyson:
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea.
But such a tide of moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell
When I embark;
For tho' from out our bourne of
Time and place
The deed may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.
