Mrs. Elizabeth Rouse, nee Hoop, was born February 4th 1842. Died December 19th, 1889, near Acton, in Johnson County Indiana.
She was married to William Rouse, February 7th, 1838. She was the mother of six children, four of whom survive her.
She professed faith in Christ in 1861, and was baptized into the fellowship of the Sugar Creek Baptist Church by Elder Phillips. This church became extinct as an organization seven years ago by the burning of their house of worship. On the 16th of November she was received into the fellowship of the Acton Baptist Church by relation. She was a consistent Christian all these years, and possessed a gentle loving spirit, endearing herself to all with whom she came in contact.
She was stricken down with consumption in March last, and at times her suffering was extreme, but she endured them with Christian patience. She had an unshaken faith in her blessed Savior, believing at all times that “everything was working for her good,” blessed with such a faith as this, she had an abiding peace. I visited her a number of times during her illness and always found her anxious to “depart and be with Christ, feeling it was far better.”
The Acton Baptist Church was filled December 20th, with sympathizing friends and sorrowing relatives to pay their last tribute of love and respect to the departed, and to hear the funeral discourse by the writer, based on Revelations 21:5.
We laid the body away to await the resurrection morn, for it is declared, “That they that are in their graves shall hear his voice, and come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life.” R. N. HARVEY.
