At the outbreak of the Civil War, her father enlisted in the Union Arm and in the second year of the war, her mother took her family of seven children and went to Columbus, Ohio and remained there until the war ended. Then her husband joined her and they moved to Scotland, Indiana where they lived until 1869. In that year they moved to Kansas and settled in Nemaha county near Kelly. She was married to James W. Countryman, a veteran of the Civil War, on January 23, 1870 at Old Lincoln, where they began housekeeping. To this union six children were born, on dying in infancy and one in young womanhood in Pueblo, Colorado. The four suviving children are Mrs. Maynard Dort, Pawnee City, Neb.; Mrs. Geb. E. Levick, Everett, Washington; James F. Countryman of Council Grove, Kansas and Mrs. John W. Johnson of Centralia, Kansas. She leaves also three brothers, Boston Hendrix, Kansas City, Mo.; Elliott Hendrix of Seattle, Washington; Edward Hendrix of St. Joseph, Mo.; and one sister, Mrs. Charles Warrenburg of Horton, Kansas; fifteen grandchildren, twenty-five great grandchildren, other relatives and a host of friends.
Nemaha county was the home of Mrs. Countryman for fifty-eight years with the exception of four years in Western Kansas and one winter in California, four years ago.
Mrs. Countryman was a Christian woman of unfaltering faith. She was a member of the United Brethren church having united with the church in Kelly in 1904. She was a quiet patient woman and in her last illness, was one of the most beautiful saints one would ever wish to see. She had very little suffering and was conscious almost to the very last. She was permitted to retain all her faculties and spoke many comforting words to her loved ones just before her departure. She was a wonderful wife and companion, having lived with her husband, who survives her, for over fifty-eight years. As a mother she was unsurpassed and as a neighbor she had no peer.
Rev. L. B. Pruitt, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church who visited Mrs. Countryman during her illness, conducted the service and spoke words of tender consolation. Mrs. R. e. Karnes, Miss Orra Knepp, Mrs. John Kongs and Miss Ernestine Crandall, with Mrs. H. M. Baldwin at the organ, sang "Going Down the Valley", "No Night There" and "Abide With Me."
Members of the Women's Relief Corps No. 238 of which Mrs. Countryman was affiliated and member of the George Graham Post No 92 G. A. R. occupied places of honor.
The pallbearers were grandsons, James Countryman, jr. of Council grove, Kansas; Glen Johnson, Centralia; Orville, James and Gerald Dort, Pawnee City, Neb. and Charles Dort, Axtell.
Interment was made in the city cemetery.
