She departed this life April 9, 1910 aged 72 years one month and 5 days. She was married Oct 6, 1857 to John Henry BLOSE of near Westville, Ohio. From this union there were born to them eight children-four sons and four daughters s follows; Rose, Alpha WILLIAMS, Charlie VANLANDINGHAM, Ollie Estella, wife of Charles K COLLINS, Frank Pendleton, Clyde Edward, Mary Elizabeth, wife of Grant KARG, and Lettie May; also 21 grandchildren all of whom excepting Rosa and three of the grandchildren survive her to mourn her loss. She with her husband in the year 1858, August 1, were baptized in the faith of and joined the regular Baptist church at Nettle Creek near Westville, Ohio. She has remained a true, humble and constant member thereof ever since, and when her health and circumstances permitted she was a regular attendant at all the church services. She was a true kind and devoted wife and helpmate, and as a mother her love for her children would not be excelled. In her younger and more healthful days, it was her great pleasure to attend the church's yearly meetings called associations, and also to entertain the members and friends attended during such associations when held at her church. She was a quiet and kind neighbor and had many warm friends. Her hope of her eternal salvation was in her belief in the shed blood of Jesus ChriSt upon the cross of Calvary for cleansing her from all her sins and transgressions. Therefore are we enabled to believe that our loss is her great gain, and that she is not dead but has gone forth to meet her Lord and Master in that realm of eternal bliss and happiness it is hoped her relations and friends may meet her. For many years she has been a great sufferer but more especially for the last few weeks under all of which she has patiently borne her burdens. In the later days of her illness her meditations of her condition, she said to her husband that a message came to her in a silent language that Jesus still lives.
