Name of Deceased:     Elizabeth HEWITT ATWOOD

Name of Newspaper:     Marshall IL newspaper (Name unknown at this time)

Date of Obituary:     August 21, 1901

Obituary:   Elizabeth Hewitt was born near Washington, Penn., May 19 1834, and died at
her home in Marshall, Ill., Aug. 17, 1901, aged 67 years, 3 months and 7 days.  On October
12, 1854, she was united in marriage to George Atwood in Licking County, Ohio.  In the 
following year, the couple moved to Illinois and in 1862 they located in Marshall and here
they have ever since made their home.  To them were born ten children, six of whom with
the father survive the mother.  The children living are Thomas, Lucius, Miss Jessie; Mrs.
William Gilbert and Mrs. John Cunningham, of Marshall, and Frank, of Robinson.

Mrs. Atwood's death was due to consumption with which she had been afflicted for some
time.  She suffered a great deal but never murmured and kept bravely at her work almost
until the last, ever being cheerful and hopeful.

In her younger days she became a member of the United Brethren church, and in her
home life she endeavored to live the life of a true Christian.  She was a noble wife and
mother, ever watchful, industrious and upright.

The funeral was conducted at the family residence Monday by Rev. A. A. White and the
remains were laid to rest in the Marshall cemetery.
