She was married to Andrew Lind.
say, Nov. 1, 1S45. To them was
given one daughter, Mrs. Catherine
gilbert, with whom Mrs. Lindsay has
made her home for more than thirty
years.
During the winter of 1864 Mrs.
Lindsay publicly confessed Christ and
united with the Disciples church, con-
tinuing her membership il that branch
of Christ's church until the 18th of
Dec ember, 1898, when she joined the
Methodist Episcopal church IN Cresco
by letter
/ Mrs. Lindsay was a quiet, and yet
devoted disciple of Jesus. She loved
the services of the house of God, ana
was found worshiping in His Holy
Temple when it was possible. Her
last opportunity to assemble with Gods
people was when she, with others,
came TO greet the "Child Jesus" OH
Christmas Day.
! She came to Iowa and made her
home with her daughter i'll September,
1865, Mr.. and Mrs. gilbert having
preceded III the spring o. that year.
She knew what the early experiences
Of pioneers we're. In the last year, as
surrounded by comfort, i'll the new
home, which she greatly enjoyed, she
often said, ~ never expected to live
SO comfortable, showing her appre-
citation of these temporal blessings.
She was allowed to enjoy these thugs
but few months, but knows now
the beauty and JOY of the "Mansions
/, not made with hands, eternal iii the
heavens" When unable to read
longer, because of weakness, some
member of the family would read to
her out of Gods word. She expressed
her enjoyment of the same i'll these
!, words: "How precious to have Gods
Word in time of trouble"
She was always an active woman,
aud even in her sickness her desire
seemed to be to get strong SO as to get
around and do for herself Out of a
family of twelve, she was the tenth to
pass through the valley and shadow
of DEATH" A brother and eldest sis
ter still remaining for time, then, to
complete the family circle around the
Throne. Besides these, her only
child, Mrs. gilbert, who so lovingly
ministered to her aged mother to the
end, survives, and with her family,
I mourn the absence of mother and
grandma, whom they have always
been used 10 see in the home. While
they weep the for absent one, they
are hopeful of the blessed greeting
that awaits them in the morning of
the Resurrection. Oh blessed hope of
Immortality.
Tie funeral was held at the resi-
dence of her son-in-law, Mahlon Gull
bert, on Tuesday at 2 o'clock, con-
Quoted by her pastor, Rev. Frank P.
Shafter, who SPOKE from Heb. a: 9,
"There remaineth therefore rest to
the people of God"
That comforting chant, nThy will be
done, and the hymns, ''How blest the
righteous when lie die" and ''Asleep in
Jesus, blessed Sleep" was sung by a
!, quartet composed of Misses
:. Whitney and Buchanan and Messrs.
: Will Patterson and Welsh, Mrs. White
