Stetter Timetraveler303@aol.com November 18, 2007, 11:17 am The Oakley Graphic From April 11, 1890, Oakley GRAPHIC: We are compelled to omit an obituary notice of Julia F. LIGHT, who died March 22, 1890, at MaQuon, Ill. It will be published next week. Page 4, column 4, April 18, 1890, Oakley GRAPHIC: OBITUARY. (Maquon (Ill.) Independent.) Julia F. LIGHT (nee) SMITH was born in Peoria County, Ill., Feb. 3rd 1862, and lived with her parents, A. D. and Ann F. SMITH, until married to Joseph W. LIGHT Feb. 19, 1880. In the autumn of the same year she accompanied her husband to Nebraska where they lived five years and then returned to this state, and after six months went to Kansas where she was living when about the middle of January last she was attacked with La Grip and gradually grew worse until it became apparent to her that she could not live as she desired to return to her fathers home here in Ill. She reached Summit last Monday morning, and was greatly comforted in being present again with her parents and friends. But no earthly conditions could save her, and she lingered among her friends a little less than a week when she departed to be with friends in the "sweet by and by." She had been a great sufferer for three years, she had been afflicted, with dropsy which at times seemed almost at the point of taking her life, but in patience and christian fortitude, she resignedly endued her affliction until she received a crown of life a "The Home of the Soul." Death did not take her unaware or without preparation. She was always a concientious, (sic) thoughtful girl, solicious (sic) about the comfort and happiness of others. Twelve years ago this winter she was converted, and united with the M. E. Church, and continued steadfast in faith until transferred to the church triumphant.
