She was married to J.A.B. Passmore in 1879, and was the mother of five children. She was a devoted wife, a loving mother, a member of the Baptist Church and a true Christian. Her life had been given to the relief of the suffering, nursing the afflicted back to health and strength, and more than all poured into the ears of the dying the consolation derived from a faith in the truth of revealed religion exemplified in her own life. She was confined to her bed seventy-two days, suffering intensely, bearing afflictions with much patience which she did for the glory of God and was ready for the summons, gladly taking her flight with the angels of Heaven, telling her affectionate husband that she was going to live with one of her children, who had gone before, leaving him to care for the other four and to raise them up in the way they should go, with the blessed hope of eternal glory and unbroken family in the Kingdom of Heaven to part no more. Her cheering words, her genial smile, her hearty greeting, will be missed. On April 21st, her remains were laid away in the family burial ground. There was one of the largest funeral processions we ever witnessed. Brother J.W. Bonse conducted the service calling on W.W. Webb, who responded expressing for himself and through him for others, their heartfelt sympathies for the bereaved, and especially for Mr. Passmore who was so devoted to his wife, and so anxious for her recovery. He sat by her bedside, sleeping only as she slept there for seventy- two days and nights, letting her lack for nothing that he could do or have done, and we all join in saying to him, "well done thou good and faithful servant", faith in God will carry you safely to your sainted wife to part no more. A Friend. Additional Comments: Daughter of Allen F. Mathews, wife of Joel A. Buchanan Passmore.
