Mr.. and Mrs. Tannehill separated
about 1874. She then resided with
her sister for about six years, when she
married Ferdinand Wolf and took upon
herself the duty OF being mother to his
six children, a trust and duty she
never neglected from the time Of en-
tering his home until her departure.
To this union two children we're born
(twins) who died in infancy. From
then on till the hour Of her death her
love was we'll divided between her chill
dren and her foster children-a returned
love which was readily shown her by
some Of their care and devotion to her
during her last illness and death.
Grandma Wolf departed this life on
the night Of Sept. 25th, 1918, at about
9 o'clock after a long suffering illness
Her many friends and a great many
Of her relatives gave her their devoted
attention throughout her entire sick
ness. All Of her living children with
the exception oG Mrs Gilchrist, who
arrived too late, were by her bedside
during her illness. Throughout her
sickness she was nursed by her aged
sister, Aunt Lou Tannehill, who was
always ready and willing to minister
TO or caress any pain, kindness which
the deceased greatly appreciated.
Just when Grandma Wolf was con-
verted is not definitely known, but she
was member Of the General Baptist
Church at Salem. Many times during
her sickness she talked OF being ready
and willing to meet death and to have
home forever with the Lord, and that
her loved ones would meet her there,
and most especially her aged com
panion, who is SO years old.
She was laid to rest in the Nance
Cemetery on the 26lh of September.
Rev. George Shaffer delivered a beau
tiful talk at the side Of the open grave,
being followed by J. D. Tannehill in a
short, pointed talk, in accord with the
request Of the deceased that some Of
her relatives talk at her funeral.
But now she has passed away, leav'
ing her faded loveliness in memory
only. She was lovely and good here
she is far more good and beautiful
there. Oh! that we could see her one
time more. But God with his wisdom
knows it would not do 10 trust us with
the resurrection power, as we would
bring to this world OF trials and troubles
our sainted loved ones that are alive
forevermore. No! No! 1t would not
do for US 10 have resurrection power.
But God in his goodness compromises
by saying You cannot bring them
where you are, but you can 20 where
they are"
Her life calls to mind the beautiful
lines:
Beautiful toiler, thy work all done,
Beautiful soul into glory gone,
Beautiful life with its crown now won,
God giveth thee rest.
Rest from all sorrow and watching
and fears,
Rest from all possible sighing and
tears,
Rest through Gods endless, won
derful years,
At home with the blest.
Beautiful spirit, free from all stain,
Ours the hear,ache, the sorrow and
pain,
Thine is the glory and infinite gain,
Thy slumber is sweet.
Peace on the brow and the eyelids
so calm,
Peace in the heart meath the white,
folded palm,
Peace dropping down like won
drous balm
From the head to The feet.
1T was so sudden" our white lips
said,
How we shall miss her. the beau.
