Salem (IN) Democrat, November 4, 1898, p. 7. NOTE: Item was difficult to read. Consider Elza and Elijah as spelling variants of Elisa. IN MEMORY Mrs. Charles Peden, daughter of Elisa (sic) and Sarah (Pitts) Davis, was born September 4, 1837, married September (one line totally illegible) visit her brother, A. J. Davis, in Benedict, Kansas. She became a member of the M. E. Church in her younger days and endeavored to live a Christian life ever letting her light shine, thus leading others to the rock that is higher than we. Always ready with her hands to help those in need and to give words of comfort to those who were in sorrow and distress. But she has gone and the place that once knew her well knows her no more forever. The summoning angel has called her to join her loved ones gone on before and there to await the call of a husband, three sons and one daughter and when time is declared to be no more will join the innumerable host at God's right hand in heaven to dwell throughout a never ending eternity. Blessed are the dead who died in the Lord.
