Sad Intelligence

Mr. Norris [Stanton] Cole, nephew of N. H. Herbert whom the JOURNAL referred to last week, we are informed was very unexpectedly called home Sunday evening to attend the funeral of his mother, who departed this life on the morning of that day. The news of this sad event coming by wire, we are unable to give the particulars, but next week will give a more elaborate statement. Will just say that about twelve years ago Mrs. Cole was one of the esteemed citizens of Hopkins, and dearly beloved by all who knew her. A true Christian and a devoted mother; and to the many friends and acquaintances who only knew her to esteem and love her, this will be sorrowful news. The JOURNAL extends condolence to the many friends and especially to the relatives of the departed sister.

OBITUARY

Kitty (DeWold) Reynolds was born at Panola, Guthrie County, Iowa, Oct. 19, 1872, and died at her home in Nodaway County, Mo., June 2, 1894. She was married to John P DeWold at East Las Vegas, New Mexico, Jan. 12, 1893. His death in a short time left her a widow but she soon followed him to the grave with the same dreaded disease, consumption. The deceased was well and favorably known in this community, having been a teacher for eight years. She lived an exemplary life and during the last days of her painful illness she entered into the joys of a Christian faith which enabled her to say in the midst of her severest suffering: “Jesus can make a dying bed as soft as downy pillows are.”

The funeral, conducted by Rev. E. Downs, took place from the home at 2 p. m., and the remains laid to rest in the Hopkins cemetery, followed by a large body of sorrowing friends, and all extend sympathy to the bereaved family.      A FRIEND

Obituary

DIED---In Independence Township near Gaynor City, Friday morning, Feb. 20, infant son of W. [illiam] H. [enry] and Francis [Frances Tabitha Simmons] Dinsmore, aged 12 days. The child was sick but a few hours with what was supposed to be colic. Funeral services were held at the house at 2 o’clock Saturday, conducted by the grandparents, F. B. Dinsmore and R. [owland] M. [adison] Simmons, after which the remains were interred in Orrsburg cemetery. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord. The heart stricken parents have the sympathy of the community in the sad hour of their bereavement. May they be enabled through the abounding mercy and grace of God to appropriate the language of Job to themselves, 1:21.  May they be led by the spirit of God to see that it is far better for it to depart and be with Christ its Redeemer, there to enjoy eternal glory, never more to suffer pain or meet the temptations of this life.

He was a blooming flower,

But oh! It bloomed to fade.

Our hopes were blasted in an hour,

And in the dust were laid.

Those tender cords of love

That twine around the heart,

Not death, no time, can e’er remove,

Or rend the ties apart.

We tried, but in vain,

To keep it longer here;

Our weeping eyes could not refrain

From the parental tear.

But let us weep no more,

But wipe our tears away;

It’s landed on the blissful shore

Of everlasting day!

Its spirit could not stay

In such a world as ours;

For there’s a clime of endless day

Of never fading flowers!

Oh! May it be our lot,

By God’s redeeming grace,

To share its joys, and there behold

Its sweet, angelic face!

[Ingles, Sarah Ann Murphy Broyles]

Hopkins Journal (Hopkins, Missouri)

Thursday     August 21, 1890    [p. 1]

OBITUARY

Sarah [Ann] Murphy was born in Overton County, Tennessee, Dec. 13, 1817.

She was married Feb. 12, 1833, to William W. [ilson] Broyles. In 1840 they moved to Missouri and to Nodaway County in 1842, where they lived until his death in 1856. Their union was blessed by thirteen children, ten of whom survive her.

She was married in 1864 to William Engles [Ingles], with whom she lived happily until his death in 1884. After his death she lived with her children, making her home the most of the time with Mrs. Downing of Hopkins where she died Aug. 13, 1890, at the age of seventy-two years and eight months.

Her sickness was very severe, lasting for some time and the coming of death was a relief to her. She was converted in 1840 and united with the Baptist church, of which she remained a member until her death. She was conscious until the last; and the Saviour whom she trusted in health, sustained her to the last hours.  The day before her death, when her strength failed, and the friends thought the end had come, she looked up and said, “This is hard,” and her daughter answered: “Yes it is mother;” and she said “I know Jesus will carry me through and I shall be where friends never part.” She repeated over the 23 Psalm, and the day before she died, sung with sweet emphasis “Jesus in pity draw near and lull me to sleep on Thy breast.” The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Randall assisted by the Rev. Redburn at the residence, Aug. 14, 1890. May the blessing of God be with the friends and may we all meet her in Heaven.    W. H.
