Her obituary: (copy courtesy of Jack Benger) Gone to her Reward On Monday, November 19, 1894, after a brief illness. Mrs. Nancy McCreary closed her eyes in the sleep which knows no waking this side of the dark river. Born in Illinois on August 22, 1821, she was converted at the age of 20 years and became a member of the Baptist church. During her long and useful life she was a humble and faithful follower of her blessed Master and death was to her but the opening of the gates of a brighter home to which loved ones had gone before. Mrs. McCreary was the mother of Mrs. M. H. Deems, Mrs. P. Wymore and Mrs. Geo. Benger. Researched and written by Marian McCreary, #47262751 Contributor: Marian Brune McCreary (47262751) •
