The following obituary notice, prepared by persons having an intimate knowledge of the life of the deceased, was read at the funeral service of the late Mrs. S. H. Baynum, Sunday. Mary Francis Bush daughter of John Bush was born near Mount Zion, May 21, 1847, and died at her home in this city March 4, 1915, aged 67 years, 9 months and 13 days. She was the eleventh child of a family of 15 children. She united with the Christian church when she was 16 years of age at the Christian church at Mt. Zion. She was married to S. H. Baynum, November 17, 1864. In the earlier part of her married life she and her husband lived close to Barkley Station. After a year's residence there they removed to a 200-acre farm 2 1/2 miles west of Shelbina, where they lived for 35 years with the exception of 3 years spent in Shelbina that their children might attend school. In the year 1897 she moved with the family to this city where she lived until her death on March 4, at 10 p. m. Mrs. Baynum was the mother of eight children all but one of whom are living. The one by which she is preceded in death died while an infant and is buried at Shelbina by which she will rest till the resurrection. In her early life she was a charter member of the Christian churches at Shelbina and Lentner. For 34 years the deceased had been a constant sufferer. However she began to fail rapidly during the last year. She was taken very sick November 17, on her fiftieth wedding anniversary. She revived a little and was able to leave her room until February 25 when she became worse and was confined to her bed. Death was due to mitral deficiency. Complications incident to such a disease made her a very sick woman. The surviving members of the family are her husband, seven children and twenty grandchildren. The children are: Mrs. Walker Adams, Mrs. Chas. Bush, of Shelbina; Mrs. Ed Ford, of Stoutsville; Charlie, William, Bessie and Ethel, all of this city. A half-brother, Dr. Frank Bush, survives her and he lives at the old home place, Mt. Zion. At the time of her death all children were present and she knew them all, remaining conscious up until the very last moment. She was a dear, precious wife and mother, always thinking and doing for her children. Her religious nature is expressed in the following, written some time before her death and almost accidentally found by the family after her death. This message she requested should be read at her funeral service: "I have fought a good fight. I have nothing to do. My foes, He has laid at my feet. I will not fear the grave; He is conqueror there. My victory in Him is complete. I have kept the faith and will cling to his word; His promise is dear to my heart, For lie never, no never His own will forsake, tho heaven and earth should depart. I am ready to go, for a voice I can hear, and yonder Father I see; He is calling me home to the mansion above where loved ones are waiting for me. I am ready to go, I am ready to go. To earth 'I have bidden adieu. I shall dwell in a city whose streets are pure gold, it's gates are already in view. I have nothing to 'do, T am ready to go, salvation completed I see I'm accepted in Christ and my labors are o'er and in him there is rest for me. There is rest, sweet rest. Peace, sweet peace. What glorious words." The funeral was held at the Christian church in this city Sunday morning at 11 o'clock, conducted by the pastor, the Rev. W. Garnet Alcorn. Interment was in Shelbina.
