Forever with the Lord
Died. At the old homestead 1 1/2 miles southeast of Cainsville, Mo., on Friday, Dec. 31, 1897, Mrs. Mary (Aunt Polly) Woodard, wife of Ralph (Uncle Ralph) Woodward. Her death was not unexpected. Indeed it is marvelous how she has lived and endured the pain and suffering that she has gone through during the last 5 years. Her patience seemed almost superhuman, and this coupled with her complete resignation to the will of Him who orders all things well. Surely, surely, she ate of that food of which the world knows not.
The deceased was born in Decatur County, Ind., Aug. 1, 1826, and was one of 13 children born to John and Elizabeth Chambers, 7 daughters and 6 sons. She is the last of the girls and but 2 of the boys remain on this side of Time's River, viz.: John Q. Chambers of Cainsville, and Joseph Chambers of Mt. Moriah.
She with her husband united with the Cainsville Baptist Church October 1848 by letter. We have known them intimately for 35 years and over 30 as brother and sister in Christ, and we are free to confess taken all in all, and every relation of life, we have never known their equals. Humble, patient, persevering, charitable (beyond their means), steadfast and unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. Loyal to Christ and liberal in His cause. Faithful under all circmstances, their lives and council have been a wonderful help to me.
They were married in Indiana, Nov. 20, 1844. Seven children were the fruit of this union, 4 sons and 3 daughers, 6 of whom are left to mourn as only children can, a fond and affectionate mother. One son lives at Lamoor, Cal., and the rest are here.
The services were held Jan. 2, 1898 at the old homestead, on account of the enfeebled condition of "Uncle Ralph". The Lesson was taken from Rev. xxii 1-7 and 10-22. Text, Rev. xxii 4-5.
There were no dry eyes, for all who know this couple love them. They are types of character seldom seen and are vanishing from among the children of men. A review of her life, her trials and triumphs, would fill columns of your paper. The good we do lives after us. Death touches only the body. The spirit becomes disengaged, ascends, and shines with additional splendor because separated from its clayey tenement. Types determine every structure in this physical world. Taking Christ's risen body we know all that we need to know of the material and spiritual body and of heaven, which is a place. Here we have 1st the State, there Christ and if it were "far better" for the Apostle so it must be of all His Saints. Death cannot and does not separate us from the love of God, and we shall know and be known, indeed.
It were a double grief if the true hearted,
Who loved us, here, should on the other shore
Remember us no more.
Sad, sad the thought weren't otherwise.
The body was laid to rest in the old Zoar cemetery to await the resurrection of the Just. May God bless and comfort the sorrowing ones and especially the aged companion is our heart's sincere prayer, for Jesus sake.
