Matthews on the 12th day of November, 1857 in the same county. Moved to the state of Iowa on the 7th of April 1858 and lived there twelve years. Came to Kansas in 1869, and settled near Glasco and continued to reside in the vicinity until her death, which occurred at her home in Glasco the 9th of Dec. 1904. Deceased was a member of the Christian Church of Glasco for the past 21 years, and was a consistent Christian in her belief and in the life she lived. To the writer of this memorial she often expressed her faith in Christ and her humble trust in God's Word. In her family she always gave good Christian counsel to her children and grandchildren. For over three years she was greatly afflicted with rheumatism, but bore her sufferings with patience to the end. Heart failure was the cause of death. She was of modest and retiring disposition; the mother of seven children, three sons and four daughters, one of which latter passed away a number of years ago. She left twenty grandchildren and four great grandchildren. A good mother and true friend has passed to the unseen world where pain is not known, and where farewells are never spoken. In these things her brightest hope and dearest joy has been fully realized. "Absent from the body, but present with the Lord." Funeral services were held in the Christian Church of Glasco on Sunday, the 11th, conducted by Elder G.W. Smith of Delphos, assisted by Elder B.F. McMillan. The burial took place in Glasco Cemetery. Thanks are extended to all who assisted in the sickness and attended the funeral.
