During her long life she was thrice married and as often left a lonely widow. Her first marriage was with James C. Thomas in Indiana, Nov. 10, 1853. To this union one child was born, James A. O. Thomas, now of Broken Bow, Nebr. Mr. Thomas died in 1854 and nine years later his widow was united in marriage to Francis T. Harvey. Three children were born, one only now living, Francis T. Harvey, Jr. Eleven years of married life and she was left alone again. In 1874 she was married to J. S. Ward, and in the spring of 1880 they left Indiana and came overland to Nebraska, locating in Nance county where they were residing at the time of Mr. Ward's death in 1891. After the death of her husband, Mrs. Ward came with her son James to Alliance, and has since made her home with him and her son Francis. The last 22 years of her life was spent tn lonely widowhood and the most of that time she was in poor health, chronic rheumatism so crippling her that she became a helpless invalid, unable to take a step for the last three years. She was a cheerful, patient sufferer all through these long years. Her Christian life commenced in days of youth, having united with the Methodist church in Indiana at the age of sixteen, and for seventy years in prosperity or adversity, in joy or sorrow, in health or suffering, in youth or old age, she lived a devoted Christian life and proved the sustaining grace of God under all circumstances. She loved her Bible and her Lord and lived to glorify Him. In her advanced years, in her helplessness, with returning vision she employed her time in making fancy work, and took delight in giving to others the articles she had made with her own hands. One of her last completed pieces she gave to a young girl who called upon her a few days ago. The last article upon which she was employed almost to the very last was not quite finished. She heard a voice she long had followed calling her. She was heard to say again and again that last day, "I am coming, Jesus, coming home." The unfinished work fell from her tired hands, the weary wheels of life stood still, and she was at home. She was a gentle spirit, a good wife and mother, a sincere Christian. Death was to her a happy release and a welcome guest and as quietly as fades away a summer's day, so closed the earthly life of one of God's children, to be continued in the larger and perfect life "Where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest." "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints" and beautiful is that life long spent in His service. Mrs. Ward died at the home of Mrs. Grace Bruckner, an old time friend with whom she had been visiting for only one week, and the funeral was held at the residence of Mrs. Bruckner Wednesday morning, conducted by Rev. O. S. Baker, pastor of the Alliance M. E. church. Interment was in Greenwood cemetery.
