Elvina Layton of West York, Ill., was born June 23, 1851, died Feb. 19, 1924, at home of her daughter, Mrs. Clem Beal, Terre Haute, Ind. age 72 years, 7 months, 26 days. She was the daughter of James H. and Margurete (Peggy) Daniels who married and located near the present site of West York about the year 1844.
Elvina Daniels was united in marriage to Richard Layton of Hutsonville, Sept 21, 1870.
To this union was given five children, Fred of Terre Haute, Mrs. Clem Beal of Terre Haute, Mrs. Leslie Lindley of Homer, Ill., Helen Bennette of Gays, Ill, and one son, James A. Layton, who answered the messenger's call 30 years ago at the age of sixteen years.
The husband, Elder R. Layton, whose life was given to the service of Jesus Christ, for a number of years before the close of his ministry, was almost a constant sufferer from a cause that medicine nor its science seemingly could not control. The days were not too long nor did the hours of the night ever become too weary for her to falter or neglect of so great a charge. Her ministry was given in the greatest and most tender love. The deceased, a faithful member of the Church of Chirst, has all but immortalized the sphere in which she lived by the constant and persistent life, true to the faith of her profession. Great Spiritual men have said of her that she revealed to them she was one of those true disciples who would not take for granted anything but the "thus sayeth the Lord" when it pertained to salvation and eternal life and she was able at all times to give ? for that ? ? and that day by ? was only made stronger. His ...counsel and ..... She knew her trusted One and in gleemer gladness was able to walk with him and talk with Him in the Garden. When we had seemingly failed yet could not give mother another call, a letter came in his mother from Paul, a grandson, reminding her of the beautiful spirit of grandmother, as she would say "Not my will, but Thine be done."
Funeral services were held Friday Feb 22 at the Church of Christ at West York conducted by JA Sweet of Marshall and the body laid to rest in the Bailiff cemetery by the side of her husband, George R Layton.
