Eleanor S. Dill

IN MEMORIAM.

Eleanor S. Dill was born October 31, 1833, and died November 17th, 1904, aged 71 years. January 29th. 1852 she was united in marriage to Wm. Dill. To this union ten children were born, seven of whom, with the aged father, are left to mourn the loss of a good and true woman. These are, Lafayette, Reuben, and Clinton Dill. Mrs. Rosa Keever, Miss Ella Dill, Mrs. Julia Casseday of Middletown, and Mrs. Mattie Frank, of Pontiac, Ill. Ten grandchildren, one being dead and nine living, and three great grandchildren all living. One brother, Reuben Hoff, and three sisters, Mrs. Bone, of Lebanon, Mrs. Stephen Bowyer, of Maineville, and Mrs. Phebe Bowyer, survive her.

A short time before her marriage the deceased united with the Christian church at Fellowship and for over fifty-two years lived a devout and consistent Christian life. A little more than two years ago Mr. and Mrs. Dill celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. Sister Dill has lived her entire life within the bounds of this neighborhood, and her life has been of such a character that she became thoroughly identified with the best interests of the neighborhood in church fellowship and in social relations. We became so accustomed to see her in public gatherings, at church and in her home, that we apparently lost sight of the fact that sometime, or to her, an accident, or sickness of the body (torn) to suddenly lay aside (torn) (ta)bernacle of clay and take up her abode in the house not made with hands, the many mansions prepared for the children of God. So when the word came to us that she died on Thursday morning, November 17th, we were surprised. It was unexpected. Perhaps the coming of death will, more or less, be always unexpected. For we know not the day, nor the hour wherein the Master shall come. In fact, the best thing we can do, the only thing we can do, is to so live that we will be ready when the Bridegroom comes.

As a wife, Aunt Ellen was true to her husband. She was always interested in the upbuilding of the home and cheerfully did her part in sustaining it. No di(s)couragements, or trials, or disappointments, or afflictions, or fires could disturb their matrimonial relations, or weaken the sacred tie that bound them together for more than fifty years. As a mother, she was devoted to her children. She made the home a sanctuary for their comfort and rest. As one by one they went out into life to do for themselves they were always sure that in the old home circle they would receive a kindly welcome from mother. If misfortune or sickness or death met them in their own homes, they would always meet a mother with outspread arms and loving heart to make for them a refuge. And today these children and grand children rise up to call her blessed.

As a member of church, she was quiet and unassuming. She cheerfully did her part and was true and loyal to her church in its prosperity and decline. No one ever doubted but that her faith in Christ was to her an anchor of the soul.
