Memorial to Mrs. Conaway


vi Hno ttuChoO'
! Mason, was born in Green county,
Pennsylvania, April 81, 1915 and
passed away Mt Logan Ohio, July
13, 1908, at the age of 63 years, .
months and lG days.
She was married to James Coma
way, May 90, 1869. She was con-
verted in the winter of 1858 and
united with the M. f.. Church.
Mrs. Conaway inherited two
boys, Carlton and q. H., with the
home into which she entered. She
could scarcely be called step
mother for she was more. She was
very fond Of the boys and became
a true mother to them. They loved
her with very true hearts. She
was also blessed with son and a
daughter of her own, Mason and
Stella. Truly there was a happy
home.
Soon however, the clouds of sor-
row began to gather. u. H., the
bright, promising young man was
taken from the circle. Though he
left clear testimony of christian
life, the stroke was heavy upon
the family.
On May z, 1898. the only daugh-
ter, Stella, a beautiful girl of IS
summers, was gently borne to the
skies. The cloud that settled down
over the parents really was never
lifted until the gates of the golden
city were opened to receive them
where she is. They left the old
home on the farm, so dear to them
and came to Logan, but they could
not leave the sorrow behind. The
father seemed to bend beneath the
weight even more than the mother.
A year ago last March the Lord
said cit is enough, come up high
er" and the father said Good bye
to earth Since then Mrs. Coma
way has journeyed with only one
boy on each side. She was still
faithful, loving and true. AS
cheerful under all the circum-
stances as any one we have ever
known. She has still been inter
ested in all that would add to the
comfort of kindred, friend or
neighbor. Indeed ali neighbors
were her friends, and to them she
seemed like one of kindred ties.
The four grandchildren were
very dear to her and she was dear
to them.
She was member of the East
ern Star lodge, the Relief Corps
and he Women's Home Missionary
Society.
She was faithful to all the in
teresls of the church of which she
had been a member for so years.
1t is difficult to mention Mrs.
Conaway without thinking of the
honored husband and the other
members of the family circle who
are gone. This stroke breaks the
last link. The home is closed. The
fireside can never be the same.
This has been pleasant home.
The greetings and the welcome to
those who came were most cordial.
For 80 years there has been one
pleasant place In the home and
this gave luster to all the Others.
The voice has been agreeable and
kind.
1t is not difficult to tell why we
are sad at this time.
We have all lost true friend
and an enjoyable associate. Every
neighbor feels the loneliness of
the hour.
From the circle of relatives
central figure has been removed.
A kindly, harmonizing spirit has
always been felt. Some of my
most pleasast hours have been
spent at this home.
Mrs. Conaway appreciated every
friend she had, l appreciated her
because she was so interested in
the work Of the church. In the
fall she could scarcely wait to get
the conference minutes. 1t was
great pleasure to me to bring her
an early copy.
Our loss is her eternal. gain.
