Va, and was united in marriage to Harden Nuckles in 1835; this union resulting in the birth of ten children, five boys and five girls; Eight fo these, four of each, still survive and mourn the loss of a mother. The family imigrated to Grundy Co., Mo, in 1852 thence to Bates Co., in 1865, where Mr. Nuckles died Sept. 1st 1881. Both Mr. and Mrs. Nuckles professed religion in early life and united with the Methodist church, continuing firm and steadfast in the faith and happy in the consciousness of living christian lives for over half a century, entering the dark valley of the shadow of death with a firm faith in Christ's salvation and of rest and peace beyond death and the grave which, for them, had no sting nor terror. While sorrowing children mourn the loss of a fond and loving mother, the burden of their grief should be greatly mellowed and lightened by the knowledge that she is at rest; that her burden and her sorrows and troubles have ended. The fond, loving mother, whose last few years of widowed life wre full of tears and sorrow and lonliness, has been taken by Him who heals all sorrow and all lpain to receive the just reward of the finally faithful who die in the Lord.
