Obituary

Died in her home in Watkins township, near Lenox postoffice, Dent County, Mo., Mrs. Mary Eaves, wife of Judge W. D. Eaves.

Sister Eaves was born in Tennessee August 23, 1833, and was married to W. D. Eaves December 30, 1852. She died July 30, 1895, of consumption, at the age of 61 years, 11 months and 6 days.

Sister Eaves suffered intensely for seven months and six days, during which time she never muttered or complained at her affliction; but bore them calmly and patiently to the very last. Sister Eaves was one of God's noble women. She died as she had lived, at perfect peace with all; charitable and kind to all. She was a loving wife and mother. She leaves a husband, four sons and two daughters, with a host of friends to mourn her loss. The funeral took place at the Black grave yard, Thursday, August 1, 1895, conducted by Elder Elisha Eaves, assisted by the writer. The esteem in which sister Eaves was held was manifested by the immense throng that followed her to her resting place. May the blessings of an Allwise God rest upon the sorrowing husband and children, relatives and friends, and may we all meet Sister Eaves in heaven, where no sickness, sorrow, pain nor death can ever come, is the sincere prayer of Geo. Shaner.--clipping attached to her memorial on Find a Grave; newspaper not identified.
