Death of a Noble Woman

Died, April 5, 1899, Rachel D. Thurston, wife of Dr. W. B. Thurston, aged 77 
years, 10 months and 6 days.

Grandma Thurston was recently taken down with pneumonia, and owing to her 
advanced age and a constitution already broken down, but little hopes were 
entertained for her recovery from the first.

Deceased was one of the best types of noble Christian womanhood. For more than 
sixty years she had been a devoted follower of the blessed Nazarine who 
traversed the lowly walks of life that man might live eternal. Such a life as 
hers is worthy of emulation, and the memory of such a wife and mother will be 
fondly treasured by the companion of a life-time and the children who were 
blessed with such an example of Christian fortitude and gentle confiding 
womanhood.

The funeral was conducted from the M.E. church Thursday afternoon, when Rev. 
Yost, the pastor, preached an able and apropriate discourse.
