    3. The Central Methodist. Catlettsburg, Ky. Tuesday, April 27, 1875. Vol. IX. No. 4. Whole Number 420. Page 3, Column 3 Memoirs. Mrs. Rebecca Lockhart was born in Preston county, Va., now W. Va., May 7, 1837: Died at her home in Scioto county, Ohio, Apl. 10, 1875, aged 37 years, 11 months, and 3 days. The subject of this notice was Column 4 three months old when her parents, Wm. S. and Sarah Trickett, moved to Wood, now Wirt county, and settled in Palestine where her father died when she was six years old, leaving her and four other children to the care of a widowed mother. On the 14 day of April 1859 she was married to Mr. Henry Lockhart. In April 1865 Mr. Lockhart, with his wife, and three children, moved to Scioto county, Ohio, where they pursued the journey of life together until she was called to her reward in heaven. She joined the M. E. Church, South, sometime during the year 1854, the sixteenth year of her age, it is believed under the ministry of Rev. R. Iancaster, of the Ky., but then of the W. Va. Conference, during a protracted meeting held at Pisga, and professed conversion at the same meeting. The evidences of the genuineness of her conversion were shown by a holy, consistent, Christian life. She lived the religion she professed. Those who knew her loved her, and the announcement of her death changed the whole community into a valley of weeping. The writer was present at her bedside during her last hours, and never before have I witnessed such a scene of glory. She said she had been preparing for this for many years, that there was nothing between her and her God. She talked freely and calmly to all present; the charges she gave her family, I trust, will never be forgotten. She breathed her last at fifteen minutes past three on the morning of the 10th. On the 12th, Sunday, at 3 P. M. funeral services were performed by the writer, assisted by the Rev. Mr. Lewis, of the Ohio Conference. She leaves a husband and six children to mourn their loss. May he that doeth all things well comfort the bereaved family and friends, and may they so live that they may meet her in the better world. C. W. SHEARER.
