daughter of Elijah Orahood and Rachel Sarah Carter
74y 8m 18d. Wife of Stephen Brody. Mother of Hugh, Mary Ellen, Ada, Frank and Charles Brody.
She (Caroline), with her parents moved to Coals Co., Ill. When she was about 8 yrs. of age her mother died, leaving the husband and father with seven children, three girls and four boys. When quite young, about 15, she married Stephen Brody, to them were born six children, four boys and two girls, all living and with her at the time of her death.
The husband and father died almost seven years ago, being a terrible shock to her, as she has not seen many well days since. She did not want to break up the home, she and two of the sons, Frank and Charlie had maintained. She has lived a life worth living, a poor, but honest upright woman, loved by her husband children and all that knew her. She believed in doing and saying all the good she could and was cheerful until the end.

Our dear mother she has left us,
In deep sorrow and in pain.
She has left us, yes, she has left us,
But we hope to meet again.
Oh, happy day when it comes this way,
That we may follow on,
And join our hands and march along
In the happy spirit land.
Although she is buried on the hill
Some will say she is dead.
Her friends will weep and mourn for her,
And many a tear is shed.
I never can agree with them
Can't help but think they are wrong,
It's only the body on the hill,
Her spirit is marching on.
To say a word of kindness
For a friend that's left us here.
To weep and mourn and worry
For her we loved so dear.
Oh, mother is taken from us,
We never shall see her more
Until we cross that river,
And meet on the other shore.
Six children stood by mother's side
With hearts full of grief and woe.
We saw dear mother was falling fast,
And soon, yes soon must go.
Oh, such things must happen.
It comes both day and night,
But as God has taken her from us,
We know it must be right.
