Drinkwater died Saturday night, March 27, 1909, of paralysis, age 64 years, 3 months and 10 days. She was born Dec 17, 1845, in Salem, Ind., and was to married Mr. Drinkwater, Dec. 25, 1866. To this union 9 children were born, 8 of whom are living. In 1871, she professed faith in Christ and united with the Christian Church. They came to Barry County in 1875, having resided here ever since. Rev. M. Smith conducted services at Maplewood Cemetery, Exeter, Sunday, March 28, 1909, in the presence of a large crowd of relatives and friends, after which the remains were lowered to the tomb, there to rest and sleep until the bright resurrection morning. Vain is the attempt to measure the loss of a wife or mother, after all the poets have sung and lovers dreamed, outside of heaven there is no love like mothers love. We believe the tender care devoted in those nearest and dearest, went with her to the better land, and in the possibilities of eternality, may be needed hereafter. We fancy her awaiting them in the bright and eternal city. Get ready to meet her.
