OBITUARY:
Priscilla Hyatt, was born in Coshocton County, Ohio, in the year 1834. Passed to the higher expression of life Aug. 7, 1908, aged nearly 74 years. In 1854 the deceased was united in marriage with James Mathews, in the same county and state. To this union were born ten children, four sons and six daughters, two sons and two daughters having preceded her to the spirit world there remain to mourn their loss, Stephen D., Alonzo M., Grace, Nancy J., Marium and Lousia. She also leaves one sister, two brothers, 34 grand children and 15 great-grand children.
In 1849, she united with the Yankee Ridge Baptist church of Coshocton county, Ohio. From that time until her departure she remained a faithful member of the Baptist church, with the exception fo three years while living at Etna Green, Ind., there being no church of her choice there, she united with the M. E. church, always feeling it a duty to be identified with God's people. In 1861, the family moved to Fulton County, Ind., where in 1891 her husband died leaving her to fight the battle of life alone, until Nov. 1907, when she was again united in marriage with Simeon Kesler, who has thus been beroft of a dear companion in less than one year after their marriage.
This was truly, a noble woman, who went about doing good, who not only espoused the cause of Christ, but whose deeds were deeds of love and mercy, and whose admonitions were worthy for all to heed. Her happiest moments seemed to be when she was engaged in godly conversation and abmonnishing those with whom she came in contact to seek Christ and his righteousness.
While her work on earth is finished her influence for good will live on and on thru coming time. In her very last moments she called her children and friends about her, and talked to them of the goodness of God and the necessity of being ready to meet Christ at his coming.
Our hearts are heavy with sorrow,
A Voice is heard on earth of friendly weeping,
The loss of one they love,
But she has gone where the redeemed are keeping,
A festival above.
The mourners throng the way.
And from the steeple the funeral bell tolls slowly.
But on the golden streets
The holy people are passing to and fro.
And saying as they meet.
"Rejoice" another long waited for is come.
The Savior's heart is glad,
Our mother has reached her Father's home.
The funeral took place at Sycamore Chapel, conducted by Rev. Hefflyn and Rev. Bender in the presence of a large audience of sympathizing friends.
The bereaved friends wish to express their thanks to all who so kindly assisted them during the period of their affliction.
