SURNAMES: BARR, HAMILTON, McALLISTER
Died. 28 July 1906

Mrs. H. R. McAllister on Sabbath evening at eight:ten o’clock.

Mrs. McAllister suffered a stroke of paralysis the last of April and
has gradually wasted away, no hopes were given for her recovery from
the first, but everything medical skill and loving care could do was
hers to the end.

Mary J. Hamilton was born in Indiana county, PA, September 9, 1832,
married Hugh R. McAllister March 4, 1862, came to the old home place
in St. Clair County, Mo., in August 1869, where she lived continuously.
She united with the Presbyterian church when a young girl and has
been a most consistent worker in all lines of church work especially
Sunday school. No day was too warm or stormy but she was in attendance
and had her family there too. Her home was always open to all ministers,
even when not able to, in justice to herself, entertain any one. Very
few families of the older residents of the neighborhood but have been
blessed by her soothing in sickness and death, many grown men and
women testifying to her cheering words and Christian counsel during
her illness and at her death. She had warm greeting and encouraging
words for all. She will be most missed by her family as she was a
devoted wife and mother. She was brave and hopeful in her many trials.
Sabbath morning was the first time her children ever came home that
she was not there to welcome them. Her burial service was conducted
in the Presbyterian church in Vista on Monday evening by Rev. W.D.
Sidman of Osceola in a very impressive manner, many friends from Vista
and Osceola showing their respect by their presence and beautiful
flowers.

May we all live such a brave, helpful life and die such a trustful
death.

She leaves a broken hearted old husband and five loving children.

G.A. Vannice

Mary Jane HAMILTON was the daughter of John A. Hamilton and Jane Barr
of Indiana county, Pa
