OBITUARY FOR CATHERINE
(Cox) SHULTZ
Catherine SHULTZ, daughter of Philip and Anna Mary (Wiseman) COX, was born in Augusta County, Virginia, 10 October, 1806, died 31 July, 1898, being 91 years, 9 months, and 21 days old. She was one of thirteen children, five boys and eight girls. In the Fall of 1837 she moved to the farm where she lived till her death. Her parents were members of the New School Presbyterian Church in Virginia where she was raised. She herself became a member of the Presbyterian Church in Virginia when but a girl. When she came to Indiana she brought her church letter and put it in the Harmony Presbyterian Church in 1837, a few months after the organization of said church where she remained an earnest and faithful christian till it was the Master's will to say, "It is enough, come up higher." She leaves eleven children, six of them being her own and five of them stepchildren. Of the former all were present at the funeral except one, and of the latter only one was present. But she had the pleasure of seeing them all members of the visible church and hoped to meet them all in Heaven. She also had 21 grandchildren and 31 great-grandchildren. She had always been a faithful wife, a loving mother and a devoted christian, clinging only to life for the love she had for her children and her church. During her life she was not a great sufferer, only having had occasion to send for a physician once in 50 or 60 years before her last sickness. Her life was filled with good deeds in the service of Christ, and in this world and will henceforth adorn the kingdom of God above. She was devoted to her bible and loved to read and meditate on God's blessed word. Her hymn book was also one of her companions.
It was her delight to praise the Lord in song. She had a few favorite songs which she frequently sang during her sickness. Only a few days before her death she sang:
"Alas, and did my Saviour blood."
"Salvation, O the joyful sound."
"Come, humble winner, in whose breast."
"Amazing grace how sweet the sound."
Her infirmity was borne with cheefulness, never murmuring at the will of her heavenly Father. Because of failing health she had some time been unable to attend either church service or Ladie's Missionary Society of which she was a member, yet her interest and zeal in the work did not grow less. May we lift our hearts to God and thank Him for the life of the one who has departed; and may this bereavement be sanctified to us, and may we bow our heads in humble submission to our Father's will, and prepare for the hour of our departure.
Funeral services were conducted at Harmony Church Wednesday, 3rd August, by the Rev. F. G. STEVENSON, pastor of College Corner and Harmony Churches. The minister chose the following portion of scripture as a basis for his discourse: Job 5:26
