She was a very strong old lady and lived a long Christian life, being at the time of her death, 90 years, 10 months and 7 days old. She was sick but very little during her life until the 5th of July last, when she was taken sick and on the 7th day of the same month she suffered a paralytic stroke and lay in a helpless condition until the 9th of August, when she passed away to the spirit land. She was the mother of 11 children, the grandmother of 53, the great grandmother of 60, and the great great grandmother of 3, the total number being 127 children.
The funeral services were conducted by the writer and consisted of singing and prayer and a short talk, after which the remains were taken to the Fairley cemetery and laid to rest beside her deceased husband, who preceded her to the spirit land fourteen years, to await the resurrection morn. Blessed are the dead which die In the Lord, from henceforth, yea, sayeth the spirit, that they, may rest from their labors, and their work do follow them. Rev. 14--13, C. C. McReynolds.
