"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 82, No 5, p 160, Jan. 29, 1917.
Caroline Drake Marsh, the youngest daughter of Randolph and Jane Drake, was born in Plainfield, N. J., December 31, 1851, and died at her home in Farina, December 23, 1916, being nearly sixty-five years of age.
She moved with her parents to Illinois in early girlhood, and later located at Farina. On March 31, 1870, she was united to James Marsh, who preceded her in death only a few months. Of the seven children born to this union all reached maturity, and all, save one, survive her.
She had been almost a constant sufferer for a number of years, yet she bore her suffering with patience and sublime resignation. In all her frailty and pain she always had a consideration for the welfare of others. She had a deep devotion to her home and family. She united with the Seventh Day Baptist church in her youth and was an active worker as long as health permitted. For a number of years she served as organist. She had great faith in God, which she was always glad to acknowledge. She will be greatly missed by her large family of children and her host of friends.
Funeral services were held in the Seventh Day Baptist church, December 26, 1916, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, conducted by Rev. L. D. Seager. She was laid to rest by the side of her husband in the Farina Cemetery.
