Spirit of Democracy, Woodsfield, Ohio, dated, July 5, 1906
One time more the messenger of death has visited our congregation and claimed for its victim our beloved sister Rebecca Henthorn who was born July 30, 1869 and died June 20, 1906.
She was united in marriage to Joseph Henthorn November 24, 1886. To this union was born two sons.
She leaves to mourn a husband, two sons, many other relatives and a host of friends and brethren.
She made the "good confession" and was baptized early in life; "putting on the whole armor of God," and taking with her the "sword of the Spirit which is the word of God," she went forth to be a soldier of the cross of Christ to overcome Satan her adversary and the world and gain the crown of righteousness which awaits the faithful soldiers of Christ, and as far as known, she was always found faithful though at times the struggle was hard and the way seemed rough and steep yet she trusted in Him who has promised never to leave nor forsake those who will follow Him and take his word for their only rule of faith and practice. She was a loving wife, a kind mother and a faithful sister for she was ever ready, when opoportunity presented itself, to offer her body at the appointed place of worship," a living sacrifice holy and acceptable unto God" but the time has come that she can meet no more with us to worship on earth but we have the hope of meeting her in that place where sad disappointments, pains, sorrows and partings comes no more, but where peace, joy and happiness reign for evermore.
The funeral services were conducted by Elder A. Calvert of Antioch, Ohio. Many of her relatives, friends and brethren were present to pay the last tribute of respect to our departed sister. Her remains were laid to rest in the West Union cemetery June 22, 1906. A. J. B.
