Mrs ELIZABETH STIoKLEMAN was born some
time during The Revolutionary war, in Augusta
county, Virginia. and died st Red Lion, War
rem county, Ohio, Jan. lst. 1878.
The record Of her birth having been lost, we
are not prepared to determine the exact year in
which she was born. But from The best informa-
ton in her possession, can safely conclude
that she died at the unusual and advanced age Of
from 9 to So years.
She became member of the Rocky Spring
congregation Of the Presbyterian church in her
native County, near ~ years ago, Her old Pas
tor Rev. j. O. Blain, having served that con gre
CATION faithful Shepherd for more than thir-
to years, ceased to live and labor only few
weeks in advance of her.
In the fall of lS48 she, with two sons and an
only daughter, removed to Lebanon, Warren
county, Ohio where for prudential reasons she
saw proper to change her church relations, and
with her youngest united with the NJ E.
Church. shortly after she removed to Red Lii
on, where she spent the last 20 years of her life
an humble, faithful and devoted follower OF
Christ
She differed greatly from most persons having
reached their three score and ten years, in that
the infrmities and weight of many years did not
bring TO her peevlsh or fretful disposition. But
her calm and happy tempe rament were so well
regulated by Ill the christian graces, that an
CRY frown has not been perceptibe on her cheer
fnl countenaace for twenty years. And it was
truly gratifying to her surviving friends, to see
her pass peacefully away the full enjoyment
of all her mental faculties; her eye.sight was
but very little impaired The first decades of
her long and eventul life were toilsome and
checkered years of suffering, sorrow and sad
ness; yet, amidst all she always strove to be
cheerful ard hopeful. But it was great conso-
lation to her to realize that her last years
were her best and happlest; and, as she came
down the slope of life gently treading the sands
Off ordan her joyous heart cheered by the in
spring hope of blissful immortality on the other
shore. We say in the language of Wesley, She
