Susan was the daughter of Robert H. C. & Jane M. (McCoates) Barron. She married James Henry Francis 21 Mar 1876 in Harrison County, WV. They were the parents of Odia Lee, Edna Mae, Carl Robert, Sarah Anna, Maude Jane, James Grover and Iola Blanche.
Obituary:
A heart as noble as ever beat,
In a woman's bosom pure and sweet,
is still tonight;
Lips, ever gentle and kind and true,
Hands ever ready in give and do
Are cold and white.
Death for the first time invaded this home and took the beloved wife and mother, Susan E. daughter of Robert and Jane Barron, was born in Clarksburg, W. Va, Feb. 18, 1849, died at her home in Carbon Hill, Ohio, Oct. 16, 1909, after a brief illness of pneumonia, age 60 years, 8 months and 8 days. She was married to James Francis, March 21, 1876. This happy union was blessed with three sons and four daughters; the youngest child a daughter having reached womanhood. The children were all except one living in other states when the news went out that "mother is very sick," They left their homes and employment to reach that mother as fast as steam could carry them. Several reached home in time to see the mother alive; and others not reaching home until the the lips that would have given them so kindly a greeting were silent. She frequently asked for them and longed for them to reach home, and they are all present today, also one sister and brother.
Mrs. Francis was for a number of years a member of the Christian church and was in every way a true disciple. During her last hours she repeated the beautiful words of the poet: "Just as I am without one plea, but that thy blood was shed for me;" and frequently said she was so tired she wanted to rest. We are glad today that there is a place of rest prepared for the "people of God."
Mrs. Francis was one of the kindest of neighbors and will be sadly missed among them. Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband, he also praiseth her. Let us cherish her many noble qualities in our memory, hoping to meet again in a better land, where the bitterness of death and parting are unknown.
