DEATHS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
Agnes W. Scanland.
Died in Versailles township, two miles north of Versailles, on Jan. 21, 1888, at the residence of her son-in-law, William McCoy, Mrs. Agnes W. Scanland, in the 76th year of her age.
Deceased was born in Carroll county, Kentucky, May 8, 1812; was married to Thomas Scanland Dec. 3, 1833, and they moved to Illinois in 1840, settling in Brown county.
She was the mother of seven children, Susan J. McCoy, Dr. S. W., James T., George N., Franklin, Granville B., and Richard Scanland. Of these, but four remain to mourn their mother's loss.
In 1842, under the labors of Rev. Granville Bond, deceased was converted and united with the Methodist Episcopal church, of which she remained a loved and consistent member until the time of her death. In those pioneer days, her house was the home of the weary itinerant, and she gladly contributed to the support of the gospel and complied with the requirements of the church.
She was a kind neighbor, ministering to the wants of the needy as opportunity offered. In her last sickness, she fully realized that the time of her departure was at hand, and longed for the rest "that remaineth to the people of God."
The funeral services held at the Marden chapel were conducted by Rev. O. V. Test, assisted by Rev. B. A. McCoy, after which the remains were interred beside those of her husband. "They rest from their labors, but their works do follow them."
