Daughter of Luman & Mary Jane (Hall) Mattison, wife of Herbert H. Thorngate, m. Mar 31, 1887.
"The North Loup Loyalist", North Loup, Nebraska, Friday, Apr. 10, 1931, p 1.
When news was received late Saturday afternoon that Mrs. Eva Thorngate had suddenly passed away from this life, there was general sadness and mourning in the village and country. While reports of her condition had not been so favorable the week preceding her death, hopes had been entertained for her ultimate recovery, and it seemed impossible to believe that she had gone.
Following a major operation on March 17, at Hillcrest, Mrs. Thorngate passed through a critical period and seemed to be on the road to recovery when an infection of the lung set in. On Saturday afternoon an operation to relieve the condition and drain the lung was performed. Her condition afterward seemed to be very satisfactory up until a few minutes preceding her death, when the formation of a blood clot brought her life to a close.
Her death coming so soon after that of the invalid mother for whom she had faithfully cared for the past nine years, has made the circumstances of her illness and death more than usually pathetic. The sorrowing husband and family have the deep sympathy of all who know them.
Eva M. Mattison was born near Troy, N. Y., April 15, 1862 and departed from this life April 4, 1931, being nearly 69 years of age. She was the daughter of Luman and Mary Hall Mattison.
When she was about two years of age, she with her parents moved from New York to Peoria county, Illinois, where they lived until after the death of her father in 1877. In 1879 she with her mother, brother and two younger sisters came to Nebraska. They first settled near Hastings, but in 1882 moved to North Loup, where her brother Byron Mattison took a claim. Since that time her home has always been at North Loup. She was one of the early teachers in Valley county, and in the North Loup schools.
On March 31, 1887 she was married to Herbert Thorngate who is left to mourn her loss. To them were born three daughters, one of whom passed away when only four years of age. The other two, Mrs. Vera VanHorn and Vesta Thorngate of North Loup, and an adopted son Ernest of Battle Creek, Mich., with four grandchildren remain. There is also a brother, Byron, of Chippewa Falls, Wis., and a sister, Mrs. Mary Loofboro of New Auburn, Wisconsin.
Mrs. Thorngate was baptized by Elder G. L. Crandall while at West Hallock, Ill. She joined the Seventh Day Baptist church there and later transferred her membership to North Loup where she has been a loyal and faithful member for more than forty years. Elder Crandall was also her pastor for about ten years at North Loup and performed her marriage ceremony.
She was a modest, retiring woman and would not care for eulogies now. Being human she had her faults and no one realized it as well as she. Those that knew her best know that she never spared herself when she could be of help to someone else. She made a home for G. W. Thorngate and his ten-year-old daughter, Mabel for two years, after the passing of the wife and mother. For nearly ten years she has almost continuously had the care of her aged mother, whose farewell services were held only a little more than two weeks ago.
She had an unfaltering trust in God and an unfailing faith in the general rightness of things as in accordance with the Divine plan.
Funeral services conducted by Rev. Hurley S. Warren were held from the Seventh Day Baptist church Monday afternoon at 2:30. The scripture reading was the fourteenth chapter of John from which Pastor Warren selected as the text for his message, 'Because I live, ye shall live also'. Prayer was offered by Miss Brown pastor of the Friends church. Two hymns, 'Saved by Grace' and 'It's Not Far Away' were sung by Esther Babcock, Ava Johnson, Arch Moulton and Dell Barber, and Ralph and Margaret Sayre sang 'Where We'll Never Grow Old'.
Many lovely flowers expressed the sympathy of friends. Pallbearers were neighborhood friends Chas. Collins, Chas. Brennick, Chas. White, Merrill VanHorn, Edward Green and Thurlow Weed acting in this capacity.
The Missionary Society of which Mrs. Thorngate was a member, occupied seats together, as did the Legion Auxiliary of which Vera Van Horn is a member. Many friends and relatives followed the funeral cortege to the cemetery, where the body was laid to rest.
