Mary Thrailkill
Mary Thrailkill wife of Cravin Thrailkill, departed this life June 1, 1859, at her
residence. near Warren, Huntington county, Ind., aged 55 years, 6 months and 16 days.
Sister Thrailkill has been a member of church near twenty years: and, in that time. she
strove, through grace, to live a consistent Christian before all men. Her house has been
for year the home for the wayworn itinerant preacher; where he loved to sit down and
refresh himself and he sheltered from the cold pelting storm of a winter's night
Mother Thrailkill has been the subject of deep affliction for near two years. Her disease
was a cancer in the throat, from which she suffered beyond description of the human
tongue; yet she bore all her sufferings with resignation and fidelity and spoke of her
departure with delight.
A few days before she left the shores of time, she called one of her daughters to the
bedside and spoke to her relative to her hope and said there has been a cloud over my mind
for some time but the cloud is now passed away, and my pathway is lighted up by my Savior,
who will lead me through the cold waters of death to my home in heaven. Just before she
set sail for the glory world, she bid them all farewell, with the promise that they would
meet her there. She then fell asleep in the arms of Jesus.
She was the mother of nine children, four of whom had passed on before to welcome home
their mother to the Paradise on high the other five, with their father, she leaves in the
world to mourn their loss. May the good Lord comfort them through their afflictions, and
lead them to that rest that remaineth for the people of God. Funeral services by the
writer, from Luke xiii. 26, to a large and respectable congregation.
J. E. Rutherford.
