Obituary
Mrs. Elmira Stoll, wife of Henry Stoll, and daughter of Isaac F. and Nancy Powers, was born in Cincinnati, Ohio,
September 15
1831; was married October 5,
1853 and died in Louisville, Ky.,
July 14, 1867. She
was a woman of lively temperament and cheerful spirits. Fluent in
conversation, with a cheerful smile ever playing on her countenance, she
was always a pleasant companion in social circles. Social and hospitable
in her disposition, she gathered around her a large circle of friends,
and to them made her home a pleasant resort.
She united with the Methodist church in her youth and remained a devoted
member of the same to the day of her death. After an illness of several days
she died peacefully and in hope of heaven. Her last words were "We all must
die; I am prepared". Her departure has made cheerless the home of a
bereaved husband, and left three children without a mother's tender care. Her funeral
services were attended by a very large concourse of sorrowing friends, at
the Shelby Street Church, where she first gave herself to God, and where for
many years she had worshiped Him. She has gone from the Church below
to a home on high.
