Obituary
(Montgomery News, Jan 20, 1911, page 10) 
  
Drucilla Lynn was born in the state of Kentucky December 1, 1833, died at her 
home in Fillmore, Ill., Jan 13, 1911, aged 77 years, 1 month, and 12 days.  
She was married to Elijah Wright Nov. 13, 1851.  To this union was born 7 
children.  The living ones are:  Camilla Nelson of Montgomery County, 
Celestina Whitten, of Montgomery County, Joseph Jefferson of Ramsey, Ill., and 
Emmerson of Houston, Texas.  There is also left 21 grand children and 8 great 
grand children.  For over thirty years she had been afflicted and a constant 
sufferer, and for 25 years helpless.  She endured all with Christian 
fortitude.  She never made a public profession of her hope in the Savior, but 
spoke to her husband in regard to what the Lord had done for her giving her 
the blessed assurance that when her sufferings on earth had ended, there 
awaited her a rest in heaven.  To others also did she express her hopes.  Then 
let us mourn not as them that have no hope.  The following verses she said 
expressed her feelings as she looked forward to her release from her 
sufferings: 
  
She shall sleep but not forever,
There shall be a glorious dawn;
We shall meet to part no never
On the resurrection morn.
The heaven born spirit is tied
Her wish is accomplished at last
And now she's entombed with the dead.
The month of affliction are over
The days and the nights of distress
We see her in anguish no more.
She's gained her happy release. 
  
The funeral services were conducted at the Lutheran church, by Elder F. M. 
Pope and Elder H. C. Card.The remains were laid to rest in the Fillmore 
cemetery.
