Death's Doings. West Virginia Argus. Kingwood, WV. Thur., Apr. 23, 1896.
Excerpt -- Died, at her home near Pleasant Dale, Sunday, April 19, 1896, at 4 p.m., Mrs. Rebecca Garner, wife of Samuel Garner. She had been ill some time with dropsy of the heart. The funeral took place Tuesday, of this week, at the late homestead, and was conducted by Rev. T. E. Babcock, of Newburg, a minister of the Seventh Day Baptist Church. He preached from 2nd Samuel, 14 chapter and 14 verse, "For we needs die, and are as water spelt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neigh doth God respect any person; yet doth he devise means that his banished be not expelled from him." The burial took place in the old Trowbridge graveyard on John H. Brown's farm near town, where seven of her children are buried. A large crowd of friends paid a last respect by attending the funeral. The deceased was born Feb. 11, 1822, and was a daughter of Martin Ridenour, who came to this country from Germany. She was married to Samuel Garner on Dec. 5, 1841, and to them were born sixteen children, nine of whom are living and all grown, and eight were present at the funeral. She united with the German Baptist Church in 1843, but joined the Seven Day Adventist in 1893. Her aged husband survives her. She was the mother of John H. Garner of this place.
