Eva L. Young was born September 26, 1849, in White County, Tennessee, near Sparta, where she grew up and where, in the fall of 1870, at the age of 21, she was married to Elson Spencer Bishop.
In 1872 she and her husband left Tennessee, moving to Massachusetts, where they lived until 1876 when they came to Kansas, taking up their homestead seven miles northeast of Glasco.
Four children were born to them, Emma M., Sumner E., Ralph W. and Nellie C.
The Bishops left their homestead farm in 1902, moving to Gravette Arkansas, and there in 1913, Mr. Bishop died.
Mrs. Bishop was a woman of strong character and of great influence for good. Any community was richer for her presence therein. No one in sickness or any other form of trouble ever called her in vain, and the weak, the needy and the troubled learned to rely confidently on her strong, helpful and hopeful nature. She gave gladly of all that was in her, counting it a privilege to help carry the burden of others. She was especially gifted as a sick nurse and was a strong and helpful presence at the bedside of suffering. Among her other activities, she was, for over fifty years, an active member of the Rebecca Lodge.
Mrs. Bishop thought deeply on the problems of life as they pertain to the here and the hereafter and she possessed an unclouded faith in the immortality of life.
She died very suddenly at her home in Gravette, Arkansas, on Sunday morning, June 9, 1918. Funeral services were held at the home of her sister, Mrs. E.E. Trimble, of Glasco, Kansas, on Tuesday morning, June 11th, and she was buried by the side of her husband in the cemetery at Delphos, Kansas.
Surviving Mrs. Bishop are three of her four children, two sisters, Mrs. Trimble and Mrs. Worley, of Glasco; two brothers, seven grand children and two stepchildren, Mr. Frank S. Bishop, who lives near Glasco and Mrs. Inez M. Garner, who lives near San Bernadino, California.
