Her maiden name was Mariah BURCH, was born March 9, 1854. Was married to John FEARNOT March 10, 1870. This union brought fourth nine children, six girls and three boys, all of whom survive the mother save one infant boy who has gone to rest. She has been afflicted for several years and often expressed a desire to be at rest with her Savior. She removed from her home in Center township to the marsh land in the south-western part of the county to assist her husband in gathering his crops there three weeks before her death. In youth she was a good girl. She was converted to Christianity about twenty years ago at Scotland, Greene County, and united with the Baptist Church at that place. About eight years ago she for causes unknown changed her member ship to Walnut Grove Bethel of the Church of God and since that time has lived a faithful member of that body. Her last sickness was typhoid fever and in the short time of one week death called her from labor to rest. She died October 9, 1897. Funeral service and interment at Walnut Grove. They were largely attended. Services conducted by the writer, Elder I. F.
