Ary Carnes, daughter of John and Eliza Carnes, was born in Harrison county, Ohio, June 25, 1839[.] When she was three or four years old the family came to Illinois and settled in Pike county, where she grew to womanhood and where on Nov. 28 [29], 1855, she was married Jacob Fife, with whom she lived happily for 53 years, and who survives her.
To this union were born seven children, six boys and one girl, all of whom are living, viz: John, Edward, Grant and Mrs. Agnes Creel of Blandinsville; Thomas of Winfield, Kansas, George of Chicago, and David of Hancock county. Besides these and the husband there remains [sic] to mourn their loss 20 grand children [sic], two brothers, Nelson and Burgess Carnes, and three sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Miller, Mrs. Sarah Tuland [sic] and Mrs. Jane White, all of Pike county, Ill., but their temporary loss is her eternal gain.
At their home in this city on Nov. 28, 1905, the golden wedding anniversary of this happy old couple was celebrated, all of their children and grand children [sic] being present, making it a memorable day in the life of the family.
Mrs. Fife was converted in early life and united with the United Brethren church, but sometime after settling in this community, 27 years ago, she united with the Methodist Episcopal church of which she continued an acceptable member until her death. Having been a cripple and a sufferer for several years she has seldom been able to attend the services at her own church, but has been a devoted worshiper at the Baptist an [sic] accasions [sic] as she was able to walk the much shorter distance to it. Mrs. Fife enjoyed a conscious experience of salvation, and in her palmier [sic] days when she was able to be a regular attendant at church often shouted aloud the praise of God, in a way that greatly moved those who heard her. During the seven weeks of her last illness we have always found her calm, serene trusting for the summons to come home. On Sunday, April 18th, 1909, at 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon at the ripe old age of 69 years, 9 months, and 23 days, she sweetly fell asleep in Jesus.
Mourning ones, may you all meet her in heaven where sorrow, sighing, sickness, and death are felt and heard no more.
The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon 2 o'clock at the Methodist church, Rev. Clark officating [sic] assisted by Rev. Oranger, after which interment was made in the Glade City cemetry [sic].
Card Of Thanks.
To the neighbors and friends who assisted us during the last illness and death of our beloved wife and mother we wish to extend our heart felt [sic] thanks.
