OBITUARIES

IN MEMORY OF OUR BELOVED MOTHER

Susanah Hutton was born in Kentucky, Nov. 12, 1829, and removed to Parke county, Ind., while yet a child. She was there married to S.R. Darland, Nov. 19, 1844, by Elder Aaron Harland. Moved from there to Iowa, where they lived until 1865 when they moved across the plains by ox team and settled in Marion Co., Ore., where they resided until 1876 when they moved to Washington, Klickitat Co., where they have since made their home until her death.
She was the mother of 16 children, 11 girls and 5 boys, 2 girls died in infancy, 2 more girls have since gone before her. She leaves an aged husband and 12 children to mourn her loss. She died while sitting in her arm chair without apparent struggle, on Jan. 4th at 4:30 p.m. and was 71 years, 1 month and 23 days old at the time of her death.
She professed a hope in Christ in 1865 and united with the Old School Baptist Church, and lived a devoted christian life, trusting only in her Savior, Jesus Christ. Our loss was her gain, for she has gone to her Heavily home where pain and sorrow cannot come. And may we all be as willing and well prepared to go as she was and may we be able to say in heart God's will be done not ours. Elder J.E. Adams officiated at the cemetery where she was laid to rest at Spring Creek and a host of friends were there to pay their last respects to the departed and mourn her loss. Isaac C., Charles B., and Mrs. Mary Baker reached here in time for the funeral, the rest of the absent children being unable to get here.

Oh, call it not death, 'tis life begun,
For the waters our past and the race is won,
The ransomed spirit but reached the shore,
Where they weep and suffer and sin no more.

She is safe in her Father's house above,
In place the place prepared by her Savior's love,
To depart from this world of sin and strife
And to be with Jesus, yes, this is life.

Her funeral will probably be preached in Goldendale next Sunday.
We wish to thank the many kind friends for the kindness shown us in this our time of trouble. A friend in time of need is a friend indeed.
