OBITUARY
"Harrod - Nancy Harrod was born in Indiana, May 28, 1821; died Dec. 1, 1918, aged 97 years, 6 months, 3 days. She was twice married: first in 1840 to Mr. Peachee; 2 girls were born to this union, both yet living. The first husband died in 1843, and in 1847 she married William Harrod. Of this marriage were born 4 boys and 4 girls (one set of twins); children all living except 2. She came with her family to Missouri in 1880; 5 children came with them, 4 still live near where they first settled, and were at her bedside when the end came. She was left a widow again in 1886 and remained so until death. She made her home with a daughter who is also a widow. Her children all married and she had a number of grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. At the age of 20 years she became a member of the Church of Christ, and lived faithfully 77 years, longer than most of us expect to live on earth. She loved the church, was always interested in its welfare. She was a great reader, read many good, useful books, and among them she did not forget her Bible. Her mind was filled with good, useful knowledge. She loved company and was always glad when any one called, especially preachers or members of the Church. Her hearing was faulty, and her eye sight became so the last few years; but her memory was excellent, and it did one good to sit and talk with her -- she knew so much to tell. She was always ambitious and her love for work never left her. She made her own bed, washed dishes, set table, ironed, and helped with all the work -- would even draw water if they did not watch her, and bring in wood. I was well acquainted with "Grandma" (as she was called by all her friends), having known her family 44 years. She was a friend to all and gave all good advice. Those of her family who have not obeyed the Gospel should heed her timely warning and make their peace with God sure. She was taken away by the dreaded influenza. It is hard to think she will never reach her hand to us again, but she has gone where goodbys and partings never come. Funeral service held at Hickory Grove Church house, conducted by Bro. J. N. Florea, who paid just tribute to her nobel life and gave it as a model for us to live by. After service the body was laid to rest beside her husband in the cemetery near the church house she loved.
Farewell, Grandma, thou hast left us,
And our loss we deeply feel;
But God knew best and so he called you,
And to His will we all must yield.
Our loss is Heaven's gain.
She is safe in the arms of Jesus
Safe on His gentle breast;
There by His love o'er shadowed,
Sweetly her soul shall rest. -Amanda Harrington, Alton, Mo.
"Grandma Harrod was born Nancy Ellen Allison, daughter of Joseph Allison and Mary Ragsdale."
A copy of her obituary from an undated newspaper clipping was mailed to me by Mrs. Jean Schmelzla, Box 103, Fulton, KS 66738-0103, presumably this was printed in the Oregon County
