OBITUARY.
Mrs. Ella Stover Harlow: On Thursday morning, at 4 oıclock,
March 15, 1894, the messenger of death entered the home of Wm.
Harlow, of Mt. Etna, Iowa, and took from him his wife. It was
only last December 23, that their little son, Paul, aged 4 weeks,
was taken away from them. Now the wife and mother has gone to
join the son, leaving husband and her other son, Kelly, who is
past two, to mourn their loss.
Sister Harlow was fully resigned to the will of her Heavenly
Father. She said repeatedly during her illness "not my will
but His be done. I would
like to get well, but if God wants me to go I am ready."
Just before she died she asked for her son, to kiss him; she sang
several hymns, among them Rock of Ages; she prayed to meet little
Paul in heaven and for her husband and little Kelly that they
might see her there, so at last they all might meet there as
unbroken number. God grant it. All were exhorted to meet her in
Heaven.
Her death was a happy and triumphant one even in the hour of the
greatest bodily suffering. She was confined to her bed nine days
and suffered severely. The home sustains the greatest loss, but
we all miss her. Her clear voice will no more be heard to lead
forth in song. The Sunday school will miss her. In prayer and in
class meetings she will be missed. There is one less who will be
anxious for the success of the church and who will work and pray
that others may help in the work. She was a loyal and faithful
member of the M. E. church. The sorest affliction is upon the
home. We commend it to the loving care of our heavenly father. We
wonder why He took her, but we do not murmur, for in His own love
and window has He taken away. Her age was 21 years, 2 months and
15 days. She left husband, son, aged father, three sisters and
two brothers. May all meet in Heaven.
