Mrs. A. G. Porter Dies at Denver
Passes Away After Continued Illness of Fifteen Months Duration
Lenah Leota Porter, wife of A. G. Porter and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. S. Riggen, was born in Sullivan Co., MO, August 3, 1879, and departed this life at Denver, CO, June 11, 1919, aged 39 years 10 months and 8 days.
She was married to A. G. Porter of Milan, MO, November 19, 1903. Two sons were born to this union, Max R., 9 years old, and Robert C., 7 years old, both of whom with her husband survive her. She also leaves to mourn her loss her mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Riggen, three brothers, E. E. and J. C. Riggen of Milan, and Robert Riggen, who is with the American Army of Occupation in France. One sister, Mrs. Cora Harty of Denver, CO, together with other relatives and a host of friends.
She was seriously ill for 15 months, and in the struggle to overcome the dreaded disease of tuberculosis had in September 1918, with her husband and sons, gone to Denver, CO.
For a number of years she was a faithful member of the Baptist Church of this city and will be greatly missed from the fellowship of this body. She was a patient sufferer, and her great faith in God enabled her to say in the language of the Great Apostle, "I know that my Redeemer liveth." It was in the comfort of this faith that she was gathered to her reward, and those who knew her best felt it was an abundant entrance and a glorious reward that awaited her.
Evangelist Burch took for his text "The Impressive Farewell of Jonathan to David," when he said, 'Thou shalt be Missed for thy Seat will be Empty,' he pointed out that as a wife, mother, daughter, neighbor and as a member of the church of the living God, she would be missed. "That she was not dead but just away," was the note that rang through the message, and that she had gone to that place where she could carry forward the beautiful purposes that actuated her here. That she had gone to a place of joy, of usefulness, of rest and of waiting.
Her body was tenderly laid to rest in Oakwood Cemetery in the presence of many of her friends and associates. So ends in this world the beautiful life of a glorious young mother and wife. The sympathy of her many friends reach out now as never before to her boys and to her husband, who will miss her most.
Let us say of her with the poet: "Thy day has come, not gone, Thy sun has risen not set, Thy life not ended, but begun; Oh! noble soul, Hail and farewell." [Milan Republican, Thursday, June 19, 1919, p. 1, col. 5]
