Mrs. Priscilla Chasteen, beloved Wife of Henry Chasteen, fell asleep to awaken, some bright morning amidst that city that has of undations. Whose maker and builder is God. After a beautiful life of more than 65 years, like a golden sheaf of grain, came to its end May 1, 1912. She was born November 21, 1847, in Mercer county, where she resided most of her life. She was married October 18, 1879 to Henry Chasteen, of this county. To this Union was born one son, Raymond, who now resides in Indianapolis, Ind., and as the death came so suddenly, to the good woman, he was not able to be with her at the end. She was converted in her early life and joined the Baptist church and remained steadfast to the end. The Rev. James Edmiston, of Parksville preached the funeral amid The tears of the whole community. We wish we had room for the beautiful things that the pastor said of her at the sad, solemn hour. Culturned in intellect: refined with a most sympathetic and social nature loving music and flowers, practical housewife , delighting in the songs of Zion: and working for years in the Church and social life of her community until the last twelve or fourteen years which was prohibited by her bad health. Her long life of service and helpfullness has left fragrance among us and in the great day, many will rise up and call her blessed. So may peace be to her dust.
