Ritchie of Flat Rock, Ill.. Besides the husband and those all ready named she has a host of relatives and friends who had learned to love and respect her. She was converted and united with the Methodist Church early in life. Soon after her marriage she united with the Hutsonville Baptist Church under the minstry of her husband and was baptised by him into the fellowship of the same, she lived a true and faithful Christian life. Her husband being actively engaged in the ministry at the time of their marriage and for 35 years following their marriage, there rested upon her largely the responsibility of the home, she was always true to her trust giving to home and loved ones the service that only a faithful wife and mother could give. She was truly a preacher's helpmate. After those years of faithful service and seeing her children come to honor, she was stricken with Paralysis on April 21, 1925. Had she lived five days longer it would have been ten years of this suffering. No one could have been more patient and considerate than she in all her affliction. She had gradually failed during these years until she calmly fell asleep in death at her home in the presence of loved ones on April 16th, 1925, aged 69 years, 2 months and eight days. Funeral services were held at the Old Home Church Saturday, at 10 o'clock, conducted by Elder T. J. Wheeler of Robinson and assisted by Pastor, J. K. Aichele and Elder J. F. Pease.
