Here's a nice long obituary for this gal. - Jean Griesan Colorado Eliza A. Knisely wife of Dr. J. E. Knisely, was born in the State of Delaware, Feb. 25th, 1804; died in Lawrence county, Ohio, Feb. 8th, 1871 - aged 67 years, 11 months and 17 days. Mother Knisely sought and found "the pearl of great price," and united with the Methodist E. Church at the age of fourteen years. She lived an exemplary christian life, and was well beloved by all who knew her. At the close of a long life in the "church militant" she gave a bright evidence that she was leaving this for the "church trimphant," saying that the same Savior that had kept her through life was able to sustain her in death. Her illness was of short duration, lasting only about six days. About twenty-four hours before death came, she began to "praise God" and exhort every one present to serve God and meet her in heaven, which she continued to do as long as she could speak, and when she could no longer speak she would point upward as if pointing to the "haven of rest." The funeral services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. A. Cartlich, who preached from Revelations 14-13: "And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord." She spoke repeatedly during her last hours of the prospect of meeting those of her children who had gone before, and her husband, Thomas Bartley, who died Oct. 1845. She was the mother of thirteen children, six of whom died in infancy. Those remaining were all present at the time of her death, except one daughter who resides in Missouri. "Let me die the death of the righteous, And let my last end be like hers." L. GARNER. Ironton Journal, March 22, 1871
