Daughter of Clement Todd, Sr. and Dorcas Fountain. Married Thomas A. Dines on 02 MAR 1841 in Shelbyville, Shelby County, Missouri.
The Shelby County Herald
DINES. — At the residence of Mr. James Ralph, in Shelbyville, Mo., June 6, 1879, Mrs. Elizabeth F. Dines, the beloved wife of Mr. Thomas Dines, of Blandinsville, Ill., aged 54 years and 18 days.
The maiden name of the deceased was Elizabeth F. Todd. She was born in Caroline county, Md., May 24, 1825, and came to Missouri in early life. At the age of 15 years she united with the Methodist church of Newark, Knox county, Mo. She was married to Thomas Dines March 3, 1841 and lived most of her married life in Shelbyville until 1862 when she with her family removed to Illinois, where she and her husband united with the M.E. church, and was a member thereof at the time of her death.
About three weeks previous to her death, she accompanied by her husband, and Mrs. Ralph, of this place, who had been visiting her family, came to Shelbyville, hoping to improve her health, which had been failing for some time, but alas! for human hopes! She found a grave.
She leaves a deeply stricken husband and four sons, besides other relatives and many friends to mourn her death. They will find a source of satisfaction in associating with her memory her many virtues which ornamented her relation as wife; mother and friend, and in the knowledge that she departed in the full assurance of an entrance into the joys of a better life.
Her funeral sermon was preached by Rev. L. Rush, at the M.E. church, South on the 8th inst., his text being the words of the 20th, 30th & 31st verses of the 7th chapter of 1st Corinthians. Her remains were followed to the silent grave in Odd Fellows' cemetery by a large concourse of sorrowing or sympathetic friends.
'Tis well. Pure spirits should not pass unmourned:
This earth is poor without them. But a view
Of better climes broke on thee, and they soul
Rose on its stricken tent with outspread wing
Of seraph rapture: for, to reach a home
Where is no restless hope, no vain desire.
No film o'er faith's bright eye, for love no blight,
Is glorious grain: and lo! that home is thine!
