Obituary of Elizabeth Furry  Lee

1 June 1904, Clark County (IL) Herald


Elizabeth Furry was born in Hamilton, Ohio, September 15, 1867.
Her parents were very devoted Christians and early instilled in
the hearts of their children the necessity of God in their
lives.  Lizzie, at her mother's death, was then less than two
years of age, but her beloved uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs.
George Dutro, kindly opened their hearts and gave the little
one a home.  here she remaiend until their death, then she came
to live with her sister, Mrs. Geo. Fuller.  She lived with her
sister for five years, when on Feb. 24, 1892, she was united in
marriage to David A. Lee.  To this union was born one child, a
sweet baby girl, and on her they lavished all the love and
affection that parents could possibly give their children.
Mrs. Lee was converted and united with the M. E. church Feb. 7,
1885, and was received into full membership July 12 of the same
year, while J. B. Martin was pastor of the Westfield charge.
She was an earnest worker in all the departments of the church
and always gave freely of her substance to every church need.
For the past two years, she has been almost a constant suffer,
but she never grew melancholoy or distressed.  She always had a
smileand a cheerful word for her many friends who came to see
her during her long illness.  Her death which occurred at 3:30
on Friday, was a great shock to her friends.  While they
expected it, they were not ready for the grim messenger to
come.  She leaves besides her husband and a child, a brother
and sister and a host of friends to mourn their loss.  Funeral
services were conducted by Rev. Thrap, assisted by Rev. Graham,
Seneff, and Ryan, Sunday, May 22, at 10:30 a.m., after which
the body was tenderly laid to rest in Maple Hill cemetery.
