Mrs. Nannie Edgington

Died, Mrs. Nannie King Edgington, at her home, in Grand River township, on October 1, 1892, wife of Andrew B. Edgington, and daughter of William M. and Mary E. King, formerly of this county, now of Adair county.

She was converted at the age of twenty-one years, and lived a consistent Christian life. She will be missed by one and all. She was married to the now bereaved husband September 2, 1883. She leaves a sorrowing husband and three little ones to mourn her early death, and father, mother and five brothers and three sisters. She expressed herself as ready and willing to go if it was the Lord’s will, and died happy in the Savior’s love. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. W. C. Smith, of Lorimor. The remains were followed by a large concourse of relatives and friends, where Nannie was laid to rest till the resurrection morn, and what a blessed thought which God sends one angel to afflict he sends many more to comfort the sorrowing ones. Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted.

Note: Burial was made in the Moon cemetery.
