Iron County Register Newspaper, Ironton, Missouri, March 9, 1882, Page 5:

Mrs. Elizabeth Myers died at the residence of her son in Ironton, on the 2nd instant, in the 76th year of her age. She was born in Adams county, Pennsylvania, June 12th, 1806.

As the meekened face and calmly folded hands of this aged mother passed out of sight for a time, what a host of thoughts crowded around her open grave. Between the hour when the nurse bound the swaddling band on the child and that in which the hand of affection wiped the damps of death from the brow of the dying, what changes have occurred! Cities and nations have perished. Great cities and nations have sprung up. Steam, electricity, and iron have turned the world upside down and the weary eyes have watched it all, and tired of looking have fallen asleep far from the place where they first saw the light.

"Oh Death! How cruel and how kind! To take the young and leave the old behind; The young are taken from the [unable to read next two words], Which heats (beats?) upon the old, and them removes at last." T.C.
