Amelia A. Chipman was born at Morristown, New York, Oct. 22, 1836 and passed on before at her late home in Momence, Illinois, Friday, Aug. 11th, 1905.
She came to Illinois with her parents at the age of 11 years, and has since made her home in this state.
On March 26, 1856, she was united in marriage with Philander Hoag, who survives to mourn the loss of a faithful helpmeet. To them were born seven children: Clara, Sylvia, Cyrus, William, Hattie, Minnie and Mark. All the children are living except Clara and Cyrus.
More than 20 years Mrs. Hoag has been afflicted. The shadow of dissolution has been lengthening, slowly, for these score of years, while the death messenger has seemed near very often, and at every approach for a number of years, this faithful mother and lifelong companion, has been ready to welcome the hour of translation.
Tho shut in with cares and great affliction, Mrs. Hoag kept in touch with all the events of interest and importance for the last quarter of a century.
She did not complain in the sorest hours of trial, nor forget God when the shadow was heaviest.
Tho not a communicant of any church she was a close student of the Bible and this old Book, with all its promises, became dearer to her as she approached the end - at eventide it was her light and greatest source of joy and comfort. Especially precious were the 103d Psalm and St. John 14th.
Many times lately she has freely talked of death, and deliverance from the body and future hope, as only a saint of God can talk who is ready for the Master's coming. She has at last attained the rest which comes when earth's burden is laid down, and the saint's rest is found in mansions in our External Home.
The funeral was held at the family residence Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by Presiding Elder Robinson, of Kankakee, and Rev. T.S. Pittenger, of the M.E. Church.
A large number of friends were present and the house was filled to overflowing, many remaining outside. The remains were laid to rest in the Union Corners cemetery.
The floral offerings were beautiful. The pallbearers were: W.P. Watson, D.C. Riker, Capt. J. Ruger, F.O. Clark, M. Bukowski, C. Drayer.
