McLeary, Mary Sterrett (Hogg) Weller
IN MEMORIAM
Departed this life in Columbus, Friday last at 8, a.m. at the residence of Mrs. M. Gillmore, Mrs. S. M. McLeary, aged eighty-one years and nine months. Mrs. McLeary was a native of Cynthians, Ky., but was a resident of Tennessee prior to her removal with her family to this State. She lived in this section more than thirty years, a large portion of that time being spent immediately in this place, and was consequently well known and much beloved. Possessing naturally a fine physique, superlative energy and activity, with the kindest of hearts, her greatest pleasure was in sacrificing herself for others, and her life was one long labor of love. For sixty years she had been an exemplary member of the Methodist Church, and her unwavering faith sustained her through the dark valley of the shadow of death. During her last few years she suffered intensely from asthma, and gradually failed until the summons of the death angel was not entirely unexpected. One child alone, Mrs. Gillmore, of this city, survives her, though several grand children, great grand children, and one great-great-grand child are bereaved of the care and tenderness she was wont to bestow. Her life was like the ripened wheat that tells of
"toil and care,
The patient waiting, the trusting prayer,
The garnered good of the year."
or the lucious grape which through raging storms and fierce heats has gathered and stored the finest and purest essences--through all symbols we search for her goodness in vain, but the Lord of the harvests has assigned to her her fitting reward.
Saturday morning, at half past nine, obsequies were performed at Mrs. Gillmore's residence over her mortal remains, the Rev. S. C. Littlepage, Pastor in charge of the Columbus Methodist Church, officiating, after which a long cortege of sorrowing friends and relatives followed the beloved form to the Odd Fellows' Rest where it was sacredly committed by the same Rev. gentleman to its long home.
The CITIZEN mourns with the afflicted relatives in their bitter loss. The willing hand is motionless, the sympathetic ear deafened, the kindly eye closed, the approving tongue silenced, the loving heart stilled, but the precious spirit which animated them has ascended to the realms of the blessed and there enjoys the exercise of those faculties in an enhanced degree.
"A little while the earthen pitcher taking
To way side brooks from far-off fountains fed;
Now the parched lip its thirst forever shaking,
Beside the fullness of the Fountain Head"
Colorado Citizen, January 27, 1887
