LUCY V. GILL BROWN

 

OBITUARY.

     Lucy V. Gill, was born in Veney, Ind., Aug. 23, 1867, and departed this life at her home in Jerico Springs, Jan. 13, 1919. Aged 51 years, 4 months and 20 days.

     She was married to J. A. Brown, Dec. 31, 1886. To this union were born three children; Mrs. G. M. Trent, of Akron, O., Mrs. G. F. Hornbaker, of Kansas City, Mo., and Mrs. R. P. Bowles, of Durant, Ok., the last named being at home with her parents the last week of her mother's patient suffering, Those together with her husband and four grandchildren survive her.

     Mr. and Mrs. Brown came to Kansas City, Mo., in 1887 and with the exception of one year have since been residents of Mo.

     Mrs. Brown was converted and joined the M. E. Church South at Oak Grove, Mo., in 1903. She lived an unselfish Christian life, forgetting herself in service for others.

     Her sufferings through the weary months which was great was borne with true christian fortitude and patience.

     The funeral service was held at the Methodist church Tuesday afternoon by Rev. J. T. Loyal and the Pastor, after which she was laid to rest in the beautiful Anna Edna Cemetery.

     May the beneficient influence she wielded in the lives of her family and friends grow with the advancing years a constant reminder that she is awaiting their coming on the eternal shores.

 

          And now from out the glory
          In living clouds of light
          The old, familiar faces
          Beaming on her sight
          The early lost, the early loved.
          The friends of long ago-
          Companions of her pilgrimage
          And conflicts here below.

          They parted here in meakness,
          In suffering and in gloom;
          They meet among the freshness
          Of heaven's immortal bloom,
          Henceforth in ever during bliss

          To wonder hand in hand
          Beside the living waters
          Of that still and sinless land.
