This was sent by Robert L. Webb Elder of the Primitive Baptist Church and one of five trustees who established the Primitive Baptist Library in Illinois.
Dear Brother Beebe: For more than two months hope and fear succeeded each other, and sad to relate, on the 16th of December, my beloved companion, ELIZABETH CHENOWETH, departed this life, aged sixty-one years, six months, and eleven days, of that dread disease asthma. Several times there was strong hope entertained of her recovery. When first confined, her statement was, I will never recover, and observed there were many strong attachments for whose sake she was willing to remain in all of her appointed time. She spoke of death with great composure. Once, when speaking on the subject, and of a hope in heaven, remarked, "How can I sink with such a prop as my eternal God?"
In the year 1824, she related to the London Tract Church, in Chester Co., Pa., the way in which the Lord called her from darkness to light, and having gained the fellowship of the church, was baptized by Elder Thomas Barton. She was the daughter of Dr. David and Mary Eaton of Chester Co., Pa. In 1818 was united in marriage to Dr. Thomas H. Davis, who died February 1826, and on the 3d of January 1830, was joined in matrimony with the writer, at Mount Gilead, Loudon Co., VA.
In 1835 left Harper's Ferry, Va., and settled in Putnam Co., Illinois, now Bureau Co. She was blessed with a good mind and firmness to do right. She was a good and faithful wife and mother, kind and useful neighbor. She was endeared to many for her intrinsic worth, and will be held in remembrance for her good works. She was in the constitution of the Bureau Church, known as Old School. We have hope that she has been taken from the church militant to the church triumphant. Yours, sorrowing
