SOURCE: Newspaper Obituary from the McArthur Democratic Enquirer November 4,1914 "It is with feelings of sorrow and regret that I pen a few lines in memory of a beloved mother in Israel. Susan C. Gordy was born in Circleville, Ohio August 29, 1824, was married to Nelson Hoffhine at Somerset, Ohio in 1842. To this union were born five daughters, two of whom died in childhood, the other three Mary R. Craig, Eliza M. Cox and Ivy E. Poffenbarger obeyed the gospel in early life. The two former are yet living, the latter died in 1905. This dear old sister departed this life on October 21, 1914 at the age of ninety years, one month and twenty two days. She obeyed the gospel in 1846 which gave her sixty eight years in the service of the Master, in which service she was faithful until called to rest from her labors. Having known the deceased for sixty years, I can not refrain from making a few personal remarks. I have known her for more than three score years. Having an excellent memory and being a regular and an ardent Bible reader, she was very intelligent in the scripture and strong in the faith. She was known through all the neigborhood for her kindness and good works, hence loved by all. She has gone to rest from her labors and her works do follow her. We mourn but not as those who have no hope, "We will meet again, if faithful until death" D.B. Dye Hamden, Ohio" _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com
