Read More	The Denison Review Wednesday, September 2, 1896 Mrs. Lydia Baer Laub was born in Carroll County, Maryland, on the 7th day of February 1824 and died in the town of Onawa at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Ainsworth, on Saturday the 29th day of August 1896 at twenty minutes past one o'clock in the afternoon, seventy-two years, six months and twenty-two days old. Her ancestry was of the highest respectability. On the parental side she descended from a family Marylanders, who served their country in the War of the Revolution, and in the War of 1812. On the 14th day of February 1848 the subject of this memoir became the wife of Henry C. Laub in Frederick County, Maryland and had she lived one year and less than six months more they would have celebrated the beginning of the second half century of their wedded life in the midst of their children and their children's children. The fourth year after their marriage they went west to Muscatine in which city she was converted and joined the Church. Three years later they came to Crawford County and have lived here to the present period, forty-one years. Some of the pioneer preachers could offer the best testimony to the cheerful spirit that always accompanied her services to the Church. She was a fruitful vine, the mother of eight children; two sons and six daughters; one daughter is not, for God took her. All the living children are married and there are ten grandchildren. During this year of 1896 she anticipated a daily termination of her earthly career. Last Sabbath morning she expressed a desire to attend her class meeting and the Church services. In the classroom she was the last to testify. In her testimony she said, I think this will be the last opportunity I will have to tell you the wonderful salvation Jesus has provided for you and for me. She praised Him for the happy privilege of telling them of His goodness in saving her to the uttermost. In a few days she fully recovered from the strain on her strength, and felt so much better that she decided to attend the National Camp Meeting for the spread of Spiritual Holiness now in progress at Storm Lake. Whilst on the journey to that meeting in which she so much delighted, at the residence of her oldest child, she was suddenly stricken, but she was calm and unmoved at the prospect before her and death found her ready. She sent her Good-bye to all the children, and added I am going this time, just as I always wanted to go; all is well, and Jesus has come to take me home, and I gladly go. The body will now be borne by some of Denison's noblest men to the cemetery on the hill where it will be laid to rest beside that of her beloved daughter, Lydia Belle, who has preceded her to the heavenly home. For the living husband and children it is hard to say this last Good-bye. Mrs. H.C. Laub was a faithful wife and a loving mother. She devoted all her strength and thought to promote the welfare of her large family. She accepted pioneer life with its many privations with courage. She was a Methodist with perfect faith in her creed and yet liberal and tolerant to others. She gave to benevolences and aided in charitable projects. She will be remembered with kindliness of spirit in circles far beyond family relations. During her late years of feebleness of body her motto was Thy will be done.
