                       Mrs. Eliza Adams Gulliver

Mrs. Eliza Adams Gulliver was born in Boston, Massachusetts, August 5,
1808, and died in Osage, Iowa, October 12, 1894.  Some fifty-seven years
of her life were spent among the scenes of her youth, almost two
generations, and then set her face towards the west as so many thousands
have done.  In 1805, she removed to Springfield, Illinois, and in 1981
she came to Osage, Iowa. She was a woman of vigorous intellect and kept
well posted on the questions of the day.  It was a pleasure to converse
with her. Though she attained so great an age she retained her faculties
unimpaired.

She outlived her husband and children by several years.  For a long time
she has felt that she was living on borrowed time and she was always
ready for the summons.

She had been a member of the church for seventy years and with her
religion was a reality.  God's grace sustained her as she neared the
borderland of the other world.  She was a good noble woman.  She was
an earnest Christian.    She was a faithful friend.  She won the hearts
of those who knew her intimately.  She was thoughtful and considerate
of others.  In all her relations in life as wife, mother, friend she
did her part well. In a quiet, modest, unostentatious way she reflected
the religion of Christ and commended it to others.

The funeral services were held on Sabbath afternoon under the direction
of Rev. W. W. Gist.

(Oct. 25, 1894)
