DIED

Blackburn - - At her residence about 3 miles south of Fulton on June 24, 1885, Mrs. Annie E. H. Blackburn wife of Thomas Blackburn.

The funeral services were held at the Christian Church in this city Tuesday 10:30 a.m., the services being conducted by Rev. W. H. Marquess, of the Presbyterian Church, and Rev. G. W. Penn, of the Methodist Church. Burial at the New Cemetery.

At the beginning of his discourse, Mr. Marquess gave the following brief sketch of Mrs. Blackburn's life:

Annie E. H. Blackburn, the daughter of Eden and Celia Benson, was born in Maryland March 14, 1824. Her parents emigrated to Missouri in 1833 and settled near Willamsburg, Callaway county, moving from there to Portland, and thence to Coates Prairie. She was married to Thomas Blackburn Dec. 15, 1846. After residing in Portland for several years, they moved to Fayette, Howard county, thence to Waverly, Lafaytte county, returning to this county on the death of her mother. They resided in Fulton for three years during the war, and then moved to the farm 2 ? miles south of Fulton, where she died. A true and faithful wife, and affectionate and self-denying mother, a kind good neighbor, she leaves to mourn her decease her husband, son, daughter, three brothers, grandchildren and many relatives.

She has been a great and constant sufferer for many years, bearing her afflictions with exemplary patience; even to the last day of life thinking and planning for the welfare of those around her. To a friend she expressed herself as trusting hopefully in the mercy of her Heavenly Father through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who looking tenderly on the woman at his feet said "Let her alone she hath done what she could."
