I have Fannie [Darst] Rife's Obituary: The following obituary was printed in the Gallipolis Tribune in January 1910: "IN MEMORY OF MRS. FANNY RIFE. Fanny Rife was born December 5, 1829, and departed this life January 15, 1910, aged 80 years, 1 months, 10 days. She was united in marriage to Joseph Rife December 12, 1850. To this union were born nine children, six sons and three daughters, two sons and two daughters having preceded her to their eternal home. Four sons Aaron, Jerry Levi and Howard and one daughter Mrs. Tena Hix still survive her; she also leaves twelve grandchildren and seven great-grand-children and a host of other friends and relatives to mourn their loss. She united with the Campaign F.W.B. Church October 12, 1876, and kept the faith until God said "it is enough, come up high". She was indeed faithful to the many duties of life and was a gentle mother and kind and good neighbor. She was tenderly care for in her declining years in her own home by her youngest son, Howard, and wife, and all that kind hands could do was done for her, but all to no avail. God thought best to take her home and our loss is her eternal gain. I would not live away, I ask not to stay Where storm after storm rises o'er the dark way The few lurid mornings that dawn on us here Are enough for life's woes full enough for its cheer. I would not live away. No--Welcome the tomb, Since Jesus has lain there, I dread not its gloom, There, sweet be my rest, till he bid me arise, To hail him in triumph descending the skies, Who, who would live away from his God Away from you heaven, that blissful abode, Where rivers of pleasure flow o'er the bright plains And the noon-tide of Glory eternally reigns. Where saints of all ages in harmony meet, Their Savior and brethren, transported to greet, While anthems of rapture unceasingly roll, And the smile of the Lord is the feast of the soul; [Written by the children]" Teresa Herrmann Columbus, Ohio
