Clipping Located in Family Bible
Obituary of Elizabeth (Lizzie) Culverhouse Hornbeak

Elizabeth (aka Lizzie) Culverhouse Hornbeak  b.   1844   in  Farmerville, Union
Parish   d. 1923 in  Mer  Rouge, Morehouse Parish

The following obituary appeared in an unnamed newspaper.  The newspaper clipping
was located in  a family Bible.  Lizzie Hornbeak is buried in the Church of the
Redeemer  (Episcopal) Cemetery in Oak Ridge, LA.  A marker in remembrance of 
her first husband and two young daughters is in the same cemetery.


“MRS. LIZZIE HORNBEAK was born at Farmersville (sic)  La., Oct. 3. 1844.  She
was married to J.R. Callen on April 25, 1861, who died on Nov. 5, 1871, leaving
three daughters, two of whom died in 1873, Mary Alice Felton being the only one
now living by this union.  After the death of her first husband, she married
E.M. Hornbeak.  To this union was born one son, James Benton.  Sister Hornbeak
was converted at an early age and joined the Presbyterian Church.  Later, after
moving to Mer Rouge, and finding no  Presbyterian church there,   she united
with the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.  I have known Sister Hornbeak for
the past three and a half years.  She was a devout Christian, loved her church
and her pastor, and was always present at the church services when her health
would permit.  She was a good mother, a good neighbor, and was loved by all who
knew her.  She died on March 30, 1923 of pneumonia.  She fought a wonderful
battle, she gained the victory, and she has gone to be with her Lord.
				Her Pastor,
                                            J.R. ROY “
[Note: E. M. Hornbeak was Elijah M.]
