Untitled, undated article; original source unknown. Extracted from the
newspaper article collection started in 1879 by Mrs. Nannie Brown of
Madison, Missouri.



"(Unable to read first few lines.) Monday night. (Heart disease) is
supposed to have been (the cause). She had been afflicted with a
varicose vein in one of her lower limbs for some time but had not been
confined to her bed. On Monday morning she arose as usual and applied a
bandage to the afflicted member. Becoming very ill she returned to her
bed. In a very short time she was dead. The news of her demise was a
great shock to the people of Paris for never did the community lose a
more lovable character.

With a sunny disposition and a heart overflowing with gentleness, her
life for two generations was a blessing to those with whom she came in
contact, as well as a bright example of the reality of the religion she
professed. Small boys of today and men who were small boys long years
ago will always recall with pleasure the cordial welcome and the
generous supply of good things they found at her home and the girls of
today and those who were girls long years ago will never forget the
pleasure and profit of an occasional hour spent with this good woman
whose heart, it seemed, was a fountain of perpetual youth.

As a wife, mother, neighbor, Christian, she exemplified the virtues of
the woman whose precept and example may well be followed with profit.
To the community in general her death is a genuine loss that is
genuinely mourned. To the aged husband to whom she had been such a
devoted and congenial companion her loss is sad beyond expression. Mrs.
Eubank was 81 years old. She had been married 61 years and had been a
staunch member of the Christian church since early in life. Funeral
services were conducted b Eld. Briney, Wednesday afternoon."
