Obituary

Mrs. Eliza Ann Newlon died at the home of her son-in-law, Mr. Moreland, near Clarinda, Iowa, on November 27, 1891, being eighty five years and twenty-eight days old. She came from Ohio with her husband and seven children in 1858, and settled on a farm near Winterset, and remained in the same neighborhood until a year or two before her death, when she went to live with her daughter, where she died. Her remarkable benevolence appears from the remark of one who knows, and says, "Her home was known far and wide, and its doors were always open and a warm welcome was extended to any and all who were seeking homes in the then new west, and especially to those of the church, and all without money and without price."

From her youth, Mrs. Newlon was a member of the Associate church until the union in 1858, after which she was a worthy member of the United Presbyterian church until death. Though crippled by a fall six or eight years ago and a great sufferer afterward while she lived, she bore her affliction with patience and resignation, remaining steadfast in the faith of her christian profession, and in the hope of the rest that remains for the people of God.

May the Lord make with her children, and with children's children, his everlasting covenant that he will not turn away from them to do them good, and that he will put his fear into their hearts that they may not depart from him.
C.T.M.
