Mary Jane West Tannehill
Mary Jane West Tannehill was born in Farmington, Warren Co., Pennsylvania December 28, 1832, and died at Belfast, Ohio August 22, 1902, aged 69 years, 7 months and 24 days.
When she was seven years old, she with her father's family, came to the vicinity of Belfast where they remained eight years then returned to Pennsylvania.
Before returning to Pennsylvania, at the age of 14, she united with the Baptist Church in the congregation known as the Storer Baptist Church.
After returning to Pennsylvania, on August 18, 1851, she was married to Victor Tannahill at Somerset Co., Pennsylvania.
In 1855, with three small children, she and her husband came to Highland County where they have since lived. Thus, in this part of Highland County, Mr. and Mrs. Tannehill have spent nearly 47 years.
To these parents were given ten children - seven boys and three girls. Two boys, Henry and Nelson died in early childhood. Zachariah lived to be a vigorous young man dying in his 22nd year.
Four sons, William, Enos and John of Belfast and Nathaniel of New Market with their three sisters, Mrs. Malvina Trout, Mrs. Ann McNeil, Mrs. Matilda Chaney of Berryville, were present at the funeral to pay tribute of love to the memory of a precious mother.
Mrs. Tannehill was grandmother to 27 children, 24 of whom are living. She was great-grandmother to five children, all of whom are living.
She was very greatly attached to the dear ones whom God had given her. Her home was not only her castle, but her chiefest joy and greatest earthly delight.
Her mother-heart was rejoiced that in the ordering of Providence all of her children lived so near the family hearth-stone that they could frequently meet and greet each other under the bright sunshine of family affection.
It was one of her latest joys that the loving hands of her own family cheerfully ministered to her necessities and did so much to alleviate the burden of physical disease.
The ever-increasing devotion to her husband was one of the marked characteristics of this good woman, "who is not for God took her."
In her last sickness no one could do quite so well for her as her long-loved husband.
For fifty-one years, with hands and hearts united, joyfully they had traveled life's pathway, and now, even for a season, to be separated seems very sad.
The devoted wife, the loving mother, is heaven's blessing by God's appointment.
For this, this family have great reason to be thankful.
Mrs. Tannehill for many years was a great sufferer; but she bore her afflictions so patiently that her nearest friends scarcely knew the intensity of her pain. Cheerful, almost playful in disposition, she was always a pleasing companion and no doubt this
characteristic did much to lengthen her life and to assist in bearing life's infirmities.
Her trust in her Heavenly Father was a constant growth from her early girlhood.
From her 14th year until her death she maintained her relationship with the Baptist Church.
Her ill-health deprived her a great deal of the meetings of the sanctuary, still she loved her Master and delighted to own His cause.
During her last sickness she had perfect possession of her mental faculties and often expressed her confidence in her Savior, and gave precious evidence that when the end came it would be peace.
In addition to the message of a consistent Christian life, as a last, loving desire she entreated her own kindred and dear ones to meet her in heaven.
After four weeks of sickness, which from the first caused great anxiety, without a struggle she "fell on sleep."
For her we "weep not as those who have no hope." But thankfully we praise the Lord for a realization of the message, "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord."
Her funeral was held in the Presbyterian Church at Belfast August 23 at 2 P.M. conducted by Rev. J. G. Galbreath, after which her body was laid to rest in the Coss Cemetery.
