[Booze, Lucinda Lytle] Hopkins Journal Thursday May 15, 1890 [p. 1] Obituary Lucinda Lytle was born July 19, 1831 in Alleghany County, Pennsylvania. She was married to her now bereaved husband David Booze July 1, 1852, their union was blessed with nine children, two of whom have preceded her, while seven remain, all being of mature age and were permitted to be with her in her last sickness. She was converted early in life and united with the M. E. church. While she has been so situated a greater part of her life so she could not attend church, her faith never faltered and she left the evidence behind her, that she has gone home to rest. She has been a patient sufferer for two years, but death claimed her as his victim and she fell asleep in Jesus May 13th, 1890, at the age of 58 years, 9 months and 24 days. Her funeral services took place May 14th, 1890 at the church near the Shearer cemetery and was conducted by the Rev. W. B. Redburn. W. B. R. [Booze, Lucinda Lytle] Hopkins Journal Thursday May 22, 1890 p. 3 Passed Over Lucinda Lytle was born July 19, 1831, was married to her now bereaved husband July 1st, 1852. She was the mother of nine children, two of whom have preceded her to the better land. And when the call came for her, as a sheaf of corn fully ripe, she was ready to go. Her sickness was long, but through it all patience had its perfect work, and always unselfish, she was so till the last, never wishing to trouble any one more than possible to wait on her. She was a Christian nearly all her life and though debarred from church privileges a great deal, her faith never faltered and her daily walk showed where she was trending. She had no pastoral calls during her sickness, but no fear of death was with her, and we feel that with the welcome planet, “well done, good and faithful servant,” another crown is given, another harp is ringing. We have lost a good citizen, her husband a good wife, and her children a good mother. Her children rise up and call her blessed. Her husband he also praiseth her. The funeral sermon was from the text, “It was appointed unto man once to die.” It was preached by the Rev W. B. Redburn. Clarinda Herald Journal
