NOTE: This obituary column, cut from newspapers of the time period, was
found pasted in an ancient dust-covered book at a yard sale I attended in
Louisville KY. I'm posting them verbatim in the hopes they will benefit
others. I have no further information and have no connection to any of
these names. I have no additional information on dates, or about which
newspapers the original columns were in or the year of publication.

<Undated>

Mrs. Elizabeth O. PENNER, aged 77 years, 2 months and six days passed away
Wednesday evening at 9:23 o'clock at the home of her daughter, Mrs. John S.
CAMPBELL, of the Ray's Branch neighborhood. She suffered with Bright's
disease.

The deceased was born and reared in Warren County, and was the widow of
Wm. Franklin PENNER, deceased many years. She had been a devout member of
the Methodist church since 13 years of age, and was always active in church
work and also in aiding the poor of the vicinity. Her desire for love and
friendship was strong in her heart, and she believed that by dividing her
joy with some one, she doubled their joy and came in touch with the divine. 
The memory of her sweet companionship can never die out of the hearts 
of the many friends who survive her. The deceased will be especially 
missed as president of the Woman's Missionary Society of the Ray's 
Branch Methodist Church.

Surviving this good woman is one daughter, Mrs. John S. CAMPBELL, with
whom she made her home.

Funeral services will be held from the Ray's Branch M. E. Church on
Friday morning at 11:30 o'clock. Rev. B. S. HARPER will officiate, with
Rev. B. F. COPAS assisting. Interment will be in Fairview Cemetery.
