Almeda Maria Sproat, daughter of Cothern(sic) and Maria Riley Sproat was born February 28, 1861 and departed this life March 14, 1933 at the age of 72 years and 14 days. Her entire life was spent in the vicinity in which she was born. When a small child her parents settled in a farm in Effingham County where she grew to womanhood. Her education was gained in Beecher City School. She was united in marriage with Douglas Hogge July 31, 1881.
She and her husband resided on a farm in Fayette County, Illinois. To this union eight children were born, six of whom survives her--Walter Hogge, George Hogge, and Edith (Mrs . Herbert Waddelow) of this city (Beecher City, Illinois); Cleve Hogge, Hooppole, Illinois; Florence, (Mrs. Lemuel Wood ) Assumption, Illinois; Jessie ( Mrs. Harold Hoskinson), Decatur, Illinois. She leaves twenty-three grandchildren and six great grandchildren; three devoted brothes, Oliver Sproat and Orlando Sproat, both of Beecher City, Illinois; George Sproat, Pawnee, Illinois; and many other relatives and friends.
Those who have preceded her into the spirit world besides her parents, Cothern(sic) and Maria Sproat; are two daughters, Grace, while in her childhood, and Minnie (Mrs. Roll Buzzard)after she became the mother of one child; 5 grandchildren, and one infant great grandchild; two infant sisters, Margaret and Ardela; Orange Sproat, her oldest brother; and her husband, Douglas Hogge, who entered into rest April 4, 1899.
Douglas Hooge suddenly leaving her to fight life's battles alone without his support and protection and the responsibility of rearing, educating and guiding this family of children, the youngest a baby ten months of age who has grown up with out a father's affection and care. She has shown remarkable endurance and her valiant spirit dominated and helped her find consolation and compensation in her children. What grief and suffering was sent to her endured with serene composure never faltering in her implicit belief in God's plan. Oftentimes the way seemed hard and long sometimes the burdens were great, yet through the spiritual strength and will power she kept the children all together until they were grown; the achievement being a beautiful tribute to her memory.
She leaves a monument of virtues which storms of time cannot destroy; kind deeds, love and mercy and ministrations to sick are legible on the hearts of the many that came in touch with her year after year.
Throughout all these lonely years she has remained loyal and devoted to her husband's memory.
Over forty years ago she professed saving faith in Christ and ever afterward remained a faithful and devoted member of (Ransom) Methodist Church and whenever convenient and health would permit she and her children Sunday School and Church services. She taught her children to respect the Sabbath Day and to live upright and useful lives and radiated an influence and inspiration which is revealed in the lives of those she leaves.
She was uncomplaining and appreciated the loving care she received during her last illness. As she expectantly awaited the summons she expressed a desire to be spared a while longer to be with her children but as she lingered near the Valley of Rest, she did not tear the mystery of the end for resignation gently sloped the way and the patience and fortitude with which she bore her suffering is evidence of complete submission and she realized she had reach the goal of all the weary years and peacefully she fell asleep.
Our mother's feet slip off the shore,
We seem to think she's scarcely gone
But, oh, in coming days how dark
Without the gladness of her smile.
The years have stolen one by one
Since her blessing on us come.
These years are fraught with labor meet
Which only Mother's hands have done
In years of yore in life's fair prime
Her hands took up the work of life
Her hands no more for others toil
To make home happy or labor light.
