Funeral will be preached at one o'clock at Calhoun. She died at 2:30 Thursday afternoon, of pneumonia. Her life has been one of such sweet gentle purity that none knew her but to love and feel better for having been in her presence. She came with her husband, Mark Finks, at an early date from Madison county, Va. and located in old Franklin, across the river from Boonville, where they lived two years and lost one child, a daughter named Sallie; then they moved to the present old home place in Tebo township, where she lived for 40 years. Mrs. Finks' maiden name was Graves and she was married the first time to Mr. Eddins, in Virginia, by whom she had one son, Frank, who died of pneumonia during the late war; one daughter, Lou, who was married to Mr. Parks and lived in Papinville, Bates county. Her death occurred in 1859. She was married to Mark Finks before coming to Missouri. He died in 1876. Their home was ever the most cheerful and hospitable in the whole neighborhood and country. There were 11 children by the last union, 9 now living. Thornton, the oldest, died in California; Fannie, wife of T. D. Burch, lives near Lewis Station; Sallie died in Howard county; Mary, wife of J. P. Legg, lives in Tebo. Fisher married and is living near the home place; Will lives with his family on the home place; Jim has a family and is in the stock business at Windsor; Tandy died in 1860; Jennie, who has been the comfort and companion to her mother, ministering to her slightest wants, will feel this loss most heavily. Mit and Eliza were twins and Mit lives with his family near the home place; Eliza is the wife of Dode Adamson, near Montrose. Grandma Finks united with the Baptist Church at Calhoun a few years ago, the same time some of her children and grandchildren were made members and baptized. She lived to see her children surrounded by their children and grandchildren, making one of the largest families in the county.
