NANCY DOTY

Nancy Doty was born in Nineveh township, Johnson county, April 4th 1823. In her childhood her mother died leaving her to the cares of a father until the 25th of June 1843 she was married to John Doty. God blessed this union with eleven children. With her husband she set forth in the struggles of life to raise their children, not only to man and womanhood, but also to bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, by her and her husband uniting with the Christian church at Providence.
After toiling in life for several years God saw fit to call for two of her infant children, a son and a daughter, which seemed almost to break the peace of the family, but as a Christian she bore her troubles and went on in life until near the majority of all her children. That dread disease typhoid fever laid hold on her daughter, Sena, aged 13 and in spite of the best medical aid she was called away in death. The next was her son, James, aged 22 years, and four weeks after the death of Sena. Some four weeks later her oldest son, William, was stricken down with the same disease and called away, and in four weeks another of her sons her youngest child Lewis was called to bid her farewell. With that Christian spirit of womanhood she bore with patience all her troubles. Some five years later another call came and her son, John Arie, was taken leaving her home without a son or daughter as the rest were all married. Again in about 3 years another call was made and took away another of her daughters, Angeline, and in about two years she herself was stricken down with a paralytic stroke that almost ended in death, but by good medical aid and kind nursing she arose again in feeble health, nearly or quite helpless, and lived some six years in the same Christian spirit. Another stroke came and in her hours of affliction she spoke of going home to see her children on the other shore. On the 2nd of June 1888, that convoy of angles came to wait her Christian spirit home to that better land. In all of her afflictions she never forgot these words "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, thy will be done Oh God." She leaves a husband, one son and two daughters with their little families to mourn their loss, but their loss is her gain and we would not call such a mother back to this sinful world to suffer and die again. On the 3rd of June the funeral procession moved to the Christian church at Providence and there Elder John C. Miller officiated by reading the eighth chapter of Romans and delivering the funeral discourse which was listened to by a full house. After the services the procession moved on to the Doty cemetery at Bargersville, the body was consigned to the grave in the presence of a goodly number of relatives and friends. As the dirt fell upon the coffin lid the words mother mother was spoken again and again.

Thou hast gone and left us,
They loss we deeply feel,
'Tis God that has bereft us,
May he all our sorrows heal.

Mother 'tis this last solace I crave,
'Tis a tribute we owe to mother's love,
Till we sleep by her side in the grave,
But we hope to meet thee in heaven above. J. K. B.
