Wife of Myrick Higgins. Miss Hannah Davis, an amiable lady who was born at the Sulphur Spring, Virginia on the 15th day of February, A.D.1796.She was married in Mt. Vernon, Ohio, on the 29th day of June, A.D. 1815 to Myrick Higgins.They settled in the vicinity of Mount Vernon, Ohio, and resided there until the year 1833, when they moved to Marion County, where they lived until the year 1855. Old age and the exposures and labors incident to a new country rendered them unable to combat successfully the battle of Life. Their son Warren, having located in Keokuk County, Iowa, invited them to make his house their home for the remainder of their time on earth, which they joyfully accepted and never regretted, for they were received with silial affection and they found them always obedient to the command "Honor thy father and thy mother, that their days may be long on the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee." Warren and family never seemed to weary in doing all they could to smooth their path through their declining years and render them comfortable, contented and happy. No murmuring or complaining ever escaped their lips, but as dutiful children performed all their labors cheerfully. They raised seven children and six of them espoused the cause of Christ in their youth and they all grew up in the path of integrity, and were respected and honored by all who knew them, and a source of comfort and pride to their parents.
