Obituary of Mrs. Nancy Lewis.

Nancy Knapp was bom Dec. 11, 1838, and died Oct. 7, 1915, aged 76 years, 9 months and 26 days. She was united in marriage to James W. Lewis Nov. 4,1864. To this union were bom six children, namely: Mrs. Ida Vore, Mrs. W. H. Galbraith, G. B. Lewis, Mrs. William Gratner, J. F. Lewis and an infant. Her husband and two children have preceded her to the great beyond. Left to mourn her are four children, Mrs. Ida Vore, Mrs. W. H. Galbraith, G. B. Lewis and Mrs. Win. Gratner, all of Barkley township. She leaves also an aged mother, Mrs. Eliza Galbraith, two half sisters, Mrs. Thomas Tanner and Mrs. Leonard Griggs, and a half brother, William Galbraith, and a host of friends. Grandma Lewis suffered patiently for ten long weeks before Jesus called her home. She was loved by all who knew her. She lived a life filled with kindness toward all who came to know her. Grandma said “I am ready to go when the call comes for me.” We know she is happier in her new home and we hope to live that we may be able to join her in her song of praise to “The Father” or us all.—' Contributed.
