Susan R. Ankrom
March 6th, 1875, at her home in Tyler county, West Virginia, Susan R., wife of John D. Ankrom, Esq.
Mrs. Ankrom was born August 16th, 1827. She was the last survivor of a large family. The subject of this notice married, at the age of nineteen, Mr. J. D. Ankrom, with whom she walked in the quiet paths of unobtrusive usefulness the remainder of her life. She had been for many years a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In her death we mourn the loss of one who as a wife was ever thoughtful, loving and devoted; as a mother, wise, tender and self-sacrificing, who breathed her own gentle spirit into her children, and whose constant aim it was to lead them into the walks of usefulness; as a neighbor she was kind and considerate; as a friend found and sympathizing. Her trust in the Savior was that of a little child; in times of trial the unseen comforter was ever near; and during the weary weeks of suffering that preceded her departure, her hopes, we have reason to believe, grew stronger as the hour of her release approached. Her consistent life and her peaceful death, justify the assurance, so comforting to bereaved relatives and friends, that though absent from the body she is forever present with the Lord. B.
