Obituary for Harriet Angie Steele, Hardin County, Illinois Harriet Angie Steele was born in Hardin county, Illinois June 1, 1836. Early in life she accepted Christ as her personal Savior and has ever since lived a consistent Christian life. In early womanhood she united with the Methodist Episcopal Church at Elizabethtown, a member of which church she continued until death, which occurred November 6, 1915, being 79 years 5 months and five days old. On April 1856 she was united in marriage to Mr. Lafayette Twitchell and for thirty three years they worked the path of life together, Years ago he preceded her to the great beyond. She leaves to mourn her departure four sons, Dr. Robert Twitchell of E. St. Louis, Mr. Lafayette Twitchell, an attorney of Denver, Colorado and Drs. B.E. and J.W. Twitchell of Belleville, Illinois and many relatives and friends. She will be missed from her accustomed place. She died as she lived, a faithful consistent Christian. May she sleep the sleep of the just, and Jesus has said, "I am the resurrection and the life, he that beleiveth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live, and who so liveth and believeth in me shall never die." The influence of a good mother results of love and faithfulness in the good that humanity in receiving by the lives of Sister Twitchell's sons. It would be well for all young men to follow the example of these men and try to make their lives tell in the alleviation of suffering humanity and for the social uplift of the world. >From the Hardin County Independent 25 November 1915 ------------------------------------------------------------- UGENWEB NOTICE: These electronic pages may NOT be reproduced in any format for profit or presentation by other organiza- tions or persons.
