Mrs. Robert L. Dulaney Passes to that Undiscovered Country
Died. At her residence in this city, on Wednesday morning, May 31, of congestion of the stomach, Elizabeth, wife of Robert L. Dulaney, in the forty-eighth year of her age.
"As smoke that rises from the kindling fires, is seen this moment, and the next expires," so it seemed with this lady, who is stricken down in her prime of life and usefulness, a victim of grim visaged Death. The deceased was taken sick on Thursday before her sad demise, and was not considered dangerously ill until the dark angel had already touched her brown, and her unconfined spirit had already commenced its flight to that realm where sorrow never comes. Surrounded by her children, relatives and friends, her death was as peaceful as the birth of the day just heralded.
Mrs. Elizabeth Dulaney was born in Fountain county, Indiana, September 27, 1833, and with her parents, John and Jane Bartlett, moved to this county in 1836. Early in life, she was united in marriage with Robert L. Dulaney, who survives her, and with him has resided in Marshall nearly ever since. She was one of the earliest settlers here, and was related to nearly all the older citizens, her brothers and sisters being, Archer and Warren Bartlett, Mrs. Judge John Scholfield, Mrs. Edwin Harlan, of this city, Mrs. Joseph Eversole, of Wabash township, and Mrs. Hannah Green, of Vincennes. In addition to these, she leaves to mourn her untimely death, seven children--Chas. W. Harry, Hector B. Will, Nellie, Lida and Cecil--and her husband, for whom profound sympathy is entertained by all classes of citizens.
Mrs. Dulaney was a quiet, intelligent and pleasant lady, whom all loved who knew here, she was generous and affectionate to all, and had, seemingly, a friend on everything that breathed. Her sudden death cast a gloom over the entire community.
"Death lies on her like an untimely frost Upon the sweetest flower of all the field."
The funeral took place from the family residence, Thursday evening, Rev. H. M. Burr, of the Congregational church, delivering a short sermon. The floral tributes to the departed were numerous, tasteful and admirably arranged. At her head were a cross and anchor, from friends in Louisville, and an upright staff, from D. Bland, this city; at her feet, a beautiful harp, with cut flowers on the mantle, near the casket, was a beautiful floral design, representing the "Gates Ajar." Amont other tributes were an anchor and cross from the friends in Vincennes, a cross from Dr. Bland, an anchor from Mr.s Eliza Greenough, and numerous others.
Among those relatives who attended the funeral from a distance, were Mrs. Hannah Green and Mrs. John Green, of Vincennes; Mrs. Emily Crane, Mrs. White and Mrs. Gregory, of Terre Haute; Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Dulaney, of Bowling Green, Kentucky, and Miss Lizzie Dulaney, of Louisville, Kentucky.
