Near 10:30 a.m. Sunday, June 2, 1889, at her home near Mineral City, all that was immortal of Aunt Keziah CHANEY quit these slippery walks of time and passed on “that bourne from whence no traveler returns” to meet her Maker in that eternal realm where sorrow is unknown and death is a stranger but where hymns of joy and praises are constantly sung. Again has our vicinity been invaded by the silent destroyer and has taken as it victim one of our most cherished mothers, a kind affectionate wife, a tender and loving mother. The form that one week before death was in the bloom of health now lays cold and pallid in the arms of death.

She leaves a husband and ten children to mourn her loss; but there is an eternal gain, for she was a devoted Christian. She knew no axiom but right; no superior but God; no desire but sociability, peace and happiness among her companions. By her death there is a wound made that there is not alexipharmic can heal, no elixir that can mitigate; but there is a lotion that should alleviate these wounded hearts, that is: “Blessed are they that die in the Lord, for they shall see God.” One and all unite in sympathy for the bereaved.

Keziah was the wife of Samuel Chaney and the daughter of George & Penelope Flater.
