It is with sadness of heart that I write the obituary of my grandmother, Mrs. Candis Tosh, who died June 26, 1896. She was born Dec. 28, 1809, and has been a devoted member of the church of Christ for a number of years. She lived a circumspect and Christian life from the day that she obeyed the gospel till her blessed Redeemer bade the spirit quit the prison house of mortality and join that countless throng of the redeemed. Thus purified by a Christian life, fortified by the word, washed in the blood of the Lamb, supported by the hope of the promises, and ripe for eternity, she tranquilly goes to sleep in Jesus. She was a great sufferer for nine months before her death, but she bore it with unwavering fortitude. She leaves nine children and a host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss; but we mourn not, as those who have no hope, for our loss is her eternal gain. May Gods blessings rest on us, and help us to live so that we may be prepared to meet her in a world that shall never end.
