=====================================

Obituary.

 

Cyrena S., wife of Rev. A. M. Simonton, died near Blanchester, O., December 15,
1873, aged 31 years, 5 months and 2 days. Sister Simonton experienced religion
and joined the M. E. Church at the age of thirteen years; was married May 18,
1865; the following autumn joined the F. W. Baptist Church, and was baptized in
the summer of 1866 by Elder Cyrus Dudley.

 

She was taken sick in September 1871, and was a sufferer of the disesae [sic]
consumption until removed by death from this world of sickness and sorrow to
that fairer world on high. Death to her was not unexpected; to depart, was a
joyful release from pain and suffering, and her spirit's flight from earth, we
are assured, was but a glad entrance into the peace and rest and beauty of heaven.

 

Sister S. leaves a husband, sister, three brothers and a large circle of friends
to mourn her departure. Only in memory she sill lives; in memory she is loved
and cherished; and I memory her place will be sadly and faithfully kept, till
the day comes when those who mourn shall be united with the loved ones in a land
where there is no more death, and painful partings never can be known.

 

Her last words to her husband were, 'Preach Jesus;' and to our sorrowing brother
we extend our earnest and heartfelt sympathies. - She is gone to a brighter and
better home, where, with loving soul; she waits to greet him. May God direct his
footsteps through life, until he is safely landed on the other shore, to live
and rejoice with her in heaven for evermore.

 

The funeral services were conducted by Elder John Hisey, and discourse preached
from Malachi 3d Chapter, 17th verse.
