Betsy Hollenbeck Guild
As this estimable lady died in Pleasant Valley about a month ago, and no extended notice of her life has appeared, we send some of the chief facts and incidents for the satisfaction of friends and acquaintances.
The subject of this sketch was born Jan. 29, 1815, in the town of Smynra, Chenango County, N.Y. Her maiden name was Besty Hollenbeck. She was married to Nathan Northrup Nash of the same place, Oct. 9, 1834. It is believed she was a member of the M.E. church at the time of her marriage, having united with it at an early age. She came with her husband to the state of Illinois in the spring of 1845, and settled in what was then called the Plum River precinct in Jo Daviess County, which embraced the whole of the present township of Pleasant Valley besides other territory.
Mr. Nash took up 200 acres of land in the precinct, built a house and opened a farm. Here he resided with his family until the time of his death, which occurred in 1854.
Mr. and Mrs. Nash were the parents of eight children, three of whom are deceased, viz: Mary E., John and Anasa W. Those now living are Nathan, Phoebe, William, Darius and Anson. Mrs. Guild remained a widow for six years after the death of her husband and was married to Benj. A. Guild of Pleasant Valley Sept. 26, 1860, with whom she had lived nearly 30 years at the time of her death. During the latter portion of that time both lived in the family of her son, Nathan S. Nash, esq., of Pleasant Valley.
She died suddenly on the morning of January 13, 1890, and was buried January 15th in the family burying ground on the old homestead, the Rev. Mr. Koser, of the M.E. church officiating.
Mrs. G. was for a time a member of the Free Methodist church at Stockton Centre, and after its dissolution united with the Church of God. Her friends and neighbors bear uniform testimony to her consistent Christian character.
About one week after her sudden death Mrs. Elizabeth Tinkham of Iowa, the mother of Mrs. N.S. Nash, died with equal suddenness at the same place thus causing a double affliction to this bereaved family. Mr. T. Was a member of the Free Will Baptist church in Iowa, whither her remains removed for burial. She was regarded as a person of excellent character, and the aged husband and children of deceased have the sympathy of the community in their affliction.
