Married: 2: 1 Dec 1865 in Drain, Douglas Co., Oregon
Abraham Morningstar was born in Knox Co., Ohio Feb. 22nd, 1843 and died Oct. 1st, 1913, making his stay on earth 70 years, 7 months and 8 days. His death occurred just a month to the day after that of our daughter Olive. He professed a hope in Christ in the year 1866, and united with the Old Mt Zion Church in Fulton Co. Ill. the second Sunday in October of the same year giving bright evidence of a hope beyond this vale of tears. He was ill for nine months of diabetes, but did not suffer much until the last twelve hours. He was a humble man, a good neighbor, and above all he loved his family, who greatly miss him as I do, and I wonder why I am spared to suffer this double bereavement. He leaves three sons, C F Morningstar, Ernest J Morningstar and Riley W Morningstar, and two daughters: Mrs. Dollie Walker and Mrs. F C England, with three sons-in-law, three daughters-in-law, and twenty eight grandchildren and his aged companion to mourn his loss. We came to Drain, Oregon from Fulton Co. Ill. in 1877, and it was sometime before we found any Baptists of our faith and order, and he could not mingle with any other. His favorite hymn was "Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, etc., and salvation by grace was his hope.
Dear saints of our God, remember us at the throne of grace, that we may be enabled to say, "Thy will be done".
