Stella May, daughter of Thomas and Roxey PEARSON, was born January 31, 1887, near Bloomfield, Indiana, where she spent her entire life. Stella was of a family of five children, Essie and Oscar preceding her years ago, and her father preceded her five years ago last May.
She was united in marriage to Thomas FERGUSON, October 29, 1905. To this union was born five sons of which, two infants, Robert Thomas and Bobbie Junior, have preceded her.
At a tender age she sought the Lord and was converted and lived a Christian life, but the last three years she seemed nearer her Savior and her aim in life was to do more for him. Three years ago she was sick and so near death and there she promised the Lord if he restored her to health again, she would work for Him and Stella kept her promise. As long as her health permitted she filled her seat at Mt. Zion Sunday school, prayer meeting and church services and was ready to pray, sing or testify, ready to do what she could in the service of her Savior, and we feel the church has lost a true and sincere Christian. After her health no longer permitted her to attend services, she enjoyed her friends in her home and always wanted them to sing and pray. Although her suffering was almost beyond endurance, she bore it patiently and would join with her alto voice in singing her favorite song, "Tis so Sweet to Trust in Jesus,” and also ”Near the Cross” and “The Old Rugged Cross.”
Stella would talk and warn her friends and loved ones to prepare to meet their Savior. She told them there was a reality in Christianity that it took more than morality to stand the test.
All through her twenty-four weeks of sickness, she prayed to gain back her health. She deserved to live as she felt her boys and husband needed her so much. She was an industrious and efficient wife, a kind mother and a true friend, always thinking of her loved ones and friends. She was of unselfish disposition ever ready to help and assist in every way possible. She was taken to her sister’s, Mrs. Nettie COOK, at Indianapolis last Thursday, November 21, for medical aid. Everything that loving hand could do was done, but Stella’s mission on earth was filled a short time before she fell asleep on Saturday night, November 23. She talked to her loved ones and expressed her readiness to meet her Lord and asked that each one around her bed to meet her in heaven, and was conscious to the last and talked as one going on a visit; to bid her loved ones good bye here and say good morning to her father and loved ones over there.
This beautiful Christian life of only forty-two years nine months and twenty-three days will be sadly missed, but her influence will live on in the lives of her loved ones.
Those left to mourn her departure are the husband, three sons, Wilbur, Wendell and Charles, of Bloomfield; her mother, Mrs. Abe BARTON, of Worthington; one sister, Mrs. Charles Cook, of Indianapolis, and a host of relatives and friends
While our hearts are saddened by Stella going, who will be missed by her loved ones, our hearts and our minds reflect on the blessed promises given. He says: “I go to prepare a place for you and if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am you may be also.”
