Eva May Troxell, the daughter of J. M. and Amelia Troxell, was born in Jasper county, Ind., May 26, 185 S. Her mother died when she was seventeen years old and she took the place of a mother to her five sisters. I’or five years she was a successful school teacher in the schools of Jasper county She joined the Broadgage church in 1878 and after she was married transferred her membership to the Presbyterian church of Rensselaer, Feb. 13, 18 91. On September 24, 1879, she was married to Isaac Newton Hemphill, at the M. E. parsonage in Rensselaer. To this union were born five children: Minnie Jane, George Boyd, Elizabeth Verne, John 1. J,, and James Floyd. They, together with her husband, survive her. also three sisters, Mrs. D. S. Alter and Mrs. C. J. Dean of Rensselaer, and Mrs. L. W. Benbow of Winamac, Ind., and stepmother, Mrs. J. M. Troxell of this city, and step-sister, Mrs. E. G. Warren of Lawton, Okla. Mrs. Hemphill had always been blessed with good health until last spring. As early as February her health began to fail, but she bravely fought and never gave up to remain in bed bne whole day at a time until she went to the Hahnemann hospital in Chicago on August 20th. The operation took place the morning of August 21st, and the surgeon verified the diagnosis of the Rensselaer physicians. The conditions were the most favorable for her and there was every indication that in time she would be restored to good health again. Her husband and two children, George and Elizabeth, were at the hospital during and after the operation, and John and Floyd were planning to go Sunday. Minnie had gone there Tuesday and remained with her mother until • 7 o’clock Wednesday evening. At 8:30, just before leaving Chicago, she telephoned the hospital and they reported that her mother was then sleeping. At 10:15, the nurse reported that stye called for a drink and again at 11:00 she made the same request, but this time only took a few swallows and complained of a pain in her heart. Her pulse was good, but in a little while the heart stopped as suddenly as the time it takes to turn off an electric light. Death was due to pulmonary embolism. Mrs. Hemphill was a perfect mother and an ideal sister. Her nurse said, “She was the best patient I ever had.” Thoroughly interested in church and lodge work, and quick to help any one who needed help, were the characteristics of this good woman, which will cause her to be missed, but, remembered, by all who knew her. Gone home! Gone home! Her earnest active spirit. Her very playfulness, her heart of love. The heavenly mansion now she doth inherit, • Which Christ made ready ere she went above. xx
