About eighteen years ago she united with the Baptist church at Pleasant Mills. September 30, 1847, she was married to Wm.U. Fristoe, six children, three boys and three girls were born to them, all but two of whom James N. and H. A., have passed on before. On Sabbath evening, December 13, at about 8:30, she was stricken down with paralysis, at about the same time on Monday morning another stroke was received, and Monday night, Dec. 14, at about 11:30 , the spirit tcok its flight from the weary, worn-out suffering body, to be as we trust at home with the Lord, For eighteen years Bister Fristoe had : been a sufferer; frequently she went to I church When she was scarcely able to do : so. She did not talk much after the pa- alytic stroke and not at ■ all after the t last one, but she had borne testimony at , other times to the fact that death had no > 'error for her. I Her sisUr, Mrs.' Henry Martz, also t Mrs. Lydia Mcßarres and Mrs. Della ] Me ris, of Lexington, Ky., were taken 1 when they were quite.small by Mr. and Mrs. Fristoe and brought up as their own children, so that theif tears mingle with < those of the two tons and their father’s in . sorrow at the loss of a mother. While it is hard to give her up, yet as s great has been hei^ sufferings that the f thought of mbther being at rest, free from f pain, and in {the of the “Home over , there,” helps to reconcile them to the 'loflitjoissof her absences The funeral services were held at the .
