Permelia R. Smith Turpin, daughter of Aaron and Frances Smith was born at the old Smith homestead, one-half mile south of Fayette, Boone County, Indiana, May 28, 1840, died February 17, 1908, age 67 years, 8 months and 20 days.
United in marriage to Harvey Turpin September 5, 1867. Six children born to this union: Rachel F. Funkhouser, Mary Ellen Funkhouse, Ola M. Everett, Flora E. Haughan, Harry E. and Homer E. Turpin.
Harry E. died Feb 6, 1899 and Mary E. Funkhouser died December 25, 1901.
"The deceased united with the Mt. Tabor Regular Baptist Church about forty years ago and was one of its most faithful members, having borne its burdens and sorrows with patience and faith, sharing in its joys and prosperity all these years. Words would fail to express the good traits that was manifest in Sister Turpin. She will be greatly missed not only in the church, but among her neighbors and friends, but especially with her family, who were greatly attached to each other and she was happiest when she was surrounded with her children and grandchildren. She leaves one brother, Presley T. Smith, husband, four children, eighteen grandchildren and a host of relatives and friends to mourn her loss. Yet we are not to weep after those that have hope as those that have none, For a woman that feareth the Lord she shall be praised.
We are sure that we have not the language to speak the praise that is due this sister and mother in Israel. To know her was to love her because of friendliness and socialbility [sic]which always accompanied her. It has been the privilege of the writer to often visit her home, both before and after her sickness. She was always cheerful even to the last except about twenty-four hours in which she was unconscious. Her death was caused by stomach trouble and she bore her affliction with great patience."
