GOOD WOMAN IS CALLED WHEN MRS. HOCKER ANSWERS
Narcissa M. Blake was born August 16th, 1857, and passed away peacefully at 6:15 p.m. on Tuesday, June 24th. She married John Hocker on March 3rd, 1881. To this union was born six children - Wilmetta, Alva, Grace, Zola, Anna and Robert - all of whom, with the husband, survive. She joined the Methodist church at North Salem when but a girl of ten years of age, and transferred her membership to Lizton in 1872. She has held with great ability and faithfulness several offices in the church, being Superintendent of the Primary Department of the Sunday School and President of the Ladies' Aid Society at the time of her death. She was also a member of the Women's Relief Corps.
Her place in the community will be hard to fill. Her kindly, Christian character was always very solicitous of the feelings of others, her desire to live the golden rule so evident that the whole church and community feel that her passing is a distinctive loss to all things that make for a moral and spiritual uplift. As a worker in the Red Cross Society she was tireless. She loved to work for the soldier boys, who were always very close to her heart.
She was last seen at church during the revival services conducted by Rev. Mr. Hiatt. In these meetings her testimony as to her ultimate end was triumphant and sure. She repeated with great joy the words of St. Paul, "I know in Whom I have believed."
She was a loyal wife, a loving mother, who has left a noble record of work well done in the lives of her children, all of whom are members of the church. These now rise up and call her blessed.
We now leave her in the blessed keeping of her Saviour, Whom she served so well here, waiting for the great day when the families of earth shall be reunited. Then must take place that reunion which she so longed for but was not permitted to enjoy, in which her youngest child, Robert, will see her again and never, never part, for there shall be no more wars there, but everlasting peace and harmony. This soldier boy has had to pay a heavier price than many for his loyalty to the Flag, which caused him to volunteer for service in the world war.

Leave we now they servant sleeping."
