The Christian Index, June 2, 1892
CHENEY.-- Mrs. E. B. Cheney died at the home of her son-in-law, Mr. J. T. 
Ogletree, Phoenix city, Ala., April 19th, 1892, after a protracted illness, in 
the 75 year of her life.  She was the widow of Dr. John L. Cheney, deceased, of 
Columbus, and mother of Rev. I. P. of Carrollton, John C. of Montgomery, Ala., 
and three devoted daughters.

This good sister was known to a large circle of relatives and friends to 
possess all the noble qualities of soul which round the character of God's 
chosen ones, from the childhood to her death she lived an exemplary Christian 
life.  She was  a woman of unselfish and generous spirit, of a cheerful, kindly 
and affectionate disposition.  She was modest but strong in convictions and 
will, a lover of virtue always ready to deny herself for others or to sacrifice 
herself for Christ, full of ambition and pride for the wellfare and usefulness 
of her children; hence she was greatly beloved not only by devoted children but 
many relatives and a large community of friends.

I visited her almost daily, for some weeks and always found her cheerful and 
submissive, with an abiding faith and a hope which grew brighter and brighter 
to the end.

Now O Father! pity we beseech thee the bereaved and help us all to submit to 
thy will and rejoice that thou hast said to her well done come up higher.

L. M. Bradley
