Obituary of Mrs. Myers Scofield

Clark County (IL) Herald, 23 November 1904


Mrs. Scofield, wife of C. H. Scofield and daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. F. N. Myers, was born October 29, 1875.  She united with
the United Brethren church when seventeen years of age and her
life since then has proved here to have been a true Christian
character.  She was married Aug. 1, 1894.  She moved
immediately with her husband to their farm home near Marshall,
Illinois, where she spend the most of her married life.  They
lived at Terre Haute eighteen months.  One child came to bless
this union, Frank H. Schofield, born Jan. 3, 1897.

In this true character many good things are worthy of note.  On
the third of April, Easter Sunday, while trying to assist and
while performing the delightful duty of helping in time of
need, she was exposed to measles, and as this dreaded disease
made its appearance the evil results are not soon to be
forgotten.  As time went on her dear body and precious life
began to waste away and on August 16, 1904, together with her
husband and son, she went to California in hopes of regaining
her failing health.  Realizing that this was not beneficial,
she decided to return to the home of her parents, arriving
there Nov. 7, and on the afternoon of Nov. 15, after one week
and one day of patient suffering, she passed peacefully into
the slumbers of death, aged 29 years and 17 days.

The husband and son, father, mother, two sisters, and one
brother are left to mourn her early departure, one brother
having preceded her to lat January to the beautiful home
beyond.

Her life is ended, her soul transplanted, and as we lay her
body to rest on the sunny slope of the neighboring cemetery,
where, perhaps, she often played as a child, we do so with a
consciousness that the parting is only "until the day break and
the shadows are away."
