OBITUARY
Mrs. Elizabeth Owens Tetrick died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. James Owens, Friday morning, Feb. 26, 1897, aged 86 years, 2 months and 24 days. She had been well respected among her many friends as had been long known.
She was born in Oldham county, Kentucky, Dec. 10, 1810 and came to Clark county, Ind., early in life. She became a member of Second Mt. Pleasant Baptist church in 1839, where she has continued a church member, with the exception of a few years, while residing in Clay county, Ill., until her death. So we may say that for nearly sixty years she was a member of the same church, and always lived a faithful and consistent Christian life.
She leaves three daughters and one son, twenty-four grandchildren and fifteen great grandchildren, her husband having died in 1862, while they were residing in Ill. The funeral services were held at the Second Mt. Pleasant church Saturday afternoon, Feb 27, conducted by Rev. P. O. Duncan, assisted by Rev. J. A. Pettit.
Of all inheritances left, an aged mother and grandmother can leave nothing that is worth so much to her descendants as a good Christian character and an untainted memory, and children can have no better bestowment. Her children will rise up and call her blessed. Her last sickness and severe suffering were borne with that patience ought to mark so long and so good a Christian life.
“E’en down to old age, all my people shall prove,
My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love.
And when hoary hairs their temples adorn,
Like lambs shall they still in his bosom be borne.”
