Eliza Nicholas Reese.
From Wednesdays Daily.
Eliza Nicholas was born in South
Wales, on January Z, 1914, and died in
Hiteman on December IA, aged 81
years, II months and days.
She was united in marriage to
Thomas E. Reese in 1862, in the land
of her nativity. Ten years later, 1872,
she, with her husband and six chill
dren, came to the United States, set
ting in the state Of Ohio at Mineral
Ridge. A few years later they moved
to Shaunee, Ohio, and after resi-
dence Of several years at the latter
place they moved to Cleveland. Lucas
county Iowa. where they expected to
there only few months, the eldest
daughter died in Ohio and left a family
of five small children. Her dying re-
quest was that her mother raise the
children. This Christian woman, at a
sacrifice to herself. returned to Ohio
and undertook the task of raising those
five children in addition to her own
eleven, several of whom were still very
young.
That she accomplished this fact is
evidenced by the children and grand
children who were present at the last
hour. The family then remained In
Shaunee, Ohio, until the year 1894,
when they moved to Pittsburg Pa,
where they remained until 1886, when
they moved to Hiteman, Ia, where she
lived until the Master called her home
The Lord blessed her marriage with
eleven children. seven sons and four
daughters. Three children, with the
husband, who departed this life in 1888
preceded the mother to the farther
shore leaving five sons-Owen Reese Of
Hilton, Ia; Elias of Youngstown, o.;
John P. Of Abba; William Of Hook
ing. Ia, and David of Rutledge, and
three daughters, Elizabeth Peart, Mel
lie Moses and Ruth Welsh, all of IIite-
man, and thirty-two grandchildren and
two great grandchildren to mourn their
loss.
In early life Mrs. Reese gave her
heart to Christ and by public profess
sion Of her faith received the ordinance
of baptism and united with the Baptist
church, in which relation she lived an
earnest and consistent Christian life
until the summons called her to a
higher life. No task was too hard for
her to undertake for her Masters
cause. Her consecrated life was an
inspiration to her children. all of whom
are held in the highest esteem in the
community where they live. 1t was the
ambition Of this noble woman to teach
her children to live in the highest
won her highest aim. 1t can be truth
fully said that her children have risen
up to call her blessed.
The funeral was conducted from the
Baptist church in Hiteman, Sunday
December 16. at o'clock p. M, by Rev.
A, w. Miller of sperry, Iowa, after
which the remains were laid to rest in
Oak View cemetery at Abba, where
they await the voice of God on the
resurrection morn.
