Death of Eliza A. Day
Mrs. Eliza A. Day, mother of Mrs. John Mullineux, died at the residence of Mrs. Mullineux, with whom she made her home, on last Saturday morning, April 29th, 1893, aged 70 years. She had a stroke of paralysis six years ago, last February, but had been an invalid prior to that time for twenty years. After her stroke of paralysis she was much worse, and, for the last six months, she has been a constant sufferer.
She lived a widow for 21 years, and was the mother of four children two sons and two daughters, all of whom are living. She was a member of the Baptist Church for many years and her funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. W. Mohler, of that church, at half past one o’clock today, (Monday) her burial following at the old cemetery on Pine street, by Hayward & Son.
Mrs. Day was naturally a very good woman, kind to the suffering, firm and steadfast in all of her beliefs, of strong prejudices and generally right in them. She was quiet and unassuming in all of her ways. Being ill for so many years had somewhat changed her natural disposition, and she lived so retired that but little was known of her outside the family, to whom however though a source of constant care, she was particularly dear, and esteemed by all, and her death leaves nothing but sorrow.
