Departed
In our city, at four in the afternoon Tuesday, June 18th, 1901, Mrs. Nancy Toland. Few incidents mark the life of this remarkable woman of four-score years, eminent for its evenness, as for the completeness and symmetry of its characteristics. She was born as Nancy Merrick, in Carroll county, Ohio, February 7th, 1821. On the 23rd of December 1841 she was united in marriage with David Toland, both disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ from earlier age. They at once set up a godly household which has been maintained under the same standard to its close. After nine years and amid the scenes of their childhood, they removed their residence to Van Wert county, Ohio.And again in 1865 they came to Tama county, Iowa locating upon a farm in the southwest corner of this township. In 1888 they came to Toledo to enjoy the repose of age in the midst of friends and the competence they had acquired. Most here will recall the Golden Anniversary of their marriage, and they were nearing the close of another decade of a singularly happy union. Though long confined to her chair as the result of an accident, she seemed ...to feel her disability amid a profusion of attentions ministered by her devoted husband and children but at length age bore down her powers and gently she sank toward the verge of the mortal life and...

ldhood at its brightest outlook, and with cheerfulness unfailing and patience unruffled, rest came to her weariness and she slept.
God gave her nine children, who grew up by her side and they went out to found families of their own, though two of these are now gone before and then he gave her to see twenty-nine grandchildren and look upon sixteen great grand children to whom she leaves her blessing.
Her burial was on Thursday; her funeral attended at her own church at 2 p.m., the discourse from her pastor Rev. J. Irwin Smith, who took his text "The Lord is My Shepherd, I shall not want," and spoke of her life as one which the Lord had led, in verification of the entire psalm, XXIII. Messrs Jas. Davidson, John McClain, J. P. Reynolds, J. Q. Clark, Isaac Stoner and R. Johnson served as pall bearers and the interment was in Woodland Cemetery.
