Obituary.,

Miss Elizabeth Skeen, daughter of
James and Elizabeth Skeen, was born
on the home farm, in Highland county,
March 8, 1S46, and died in Hillsboro,
November 8, 1895. One of family of
nine children, she early developed the
spirit of unselfishness that was so char
scteristic of her. BY serious illness at
the age Of fourteen, she was made pain.
fully aware of the limitations that over.
take frail humanity, and was ever after
more or less sufferer. Possessed of
good natural ability, she studied and
prepared herself for the vocation Of
teacher, teaching three terms of school
in Ross county, and later in Highland
county, but was compelled on account
of her health, to abandon this line Of
usefulness. For many years she was q
consistent member of the NJ. E Church,
. noble and exemplary Christian. In
1881 she, with her uncle, John Skeen,
made for themselves . homo, and two
years later moved to their home in Hills.

diction. The tenacity with which she
clung to her friends was only equalled
by their unvarying regard for her. Little
children loved her for she loved them,
and childish steps will falter Is they
pass the familiar gate where kindly
word and her pleasant smile were wont
to greet them. In the pleasant home,
where for years she cared for an aged
and much afflicted relative, and again
by her ministries to her respected uncle,

her worth must have its highest value
To human judgment and for human
needs, the loss Of this conscientious
Christian woman seems untimely. But
few who reach the allotted three score
years and ten have achieved a. much
for God and home - has Elizabeth
Skeen.
