"Mrs. Samuel Knepper fell asleep in Jesus January 31 and was laid to rest in the cemetery at Mayview, Washington, February 2, 1903.
Miss Lottie V. Turley was born near Van Buren, Carter county, Mo., February 4, 1881, and was 22 years old wanting four days. She came to Washington when a mere child, 10 years of age, to make her home with her sister, Mrs. C. W. Cotton. After passing our graded school she attended the normal at Ellensburg, this state, to prepare herself for teaching. She taught most acceptably before and after her marriage. Neither did she neglect her spiritual qualifications and her soul's interest, but became "a soldier of the cross, a follower of the Lamb," and ever lived a consistent christian life.
She was married to Samuel Knepper August 5, 1900, and they resided in Garfield county. Perhaps it was during her ministrations on Mrs. Lockhart, who with her husband, Rev. Lockhart, died with that dreaded disease, consumption, that she contracted her fatal sickness.
Besides her husband she leaves a sweet little girl, Lucile, aged 18 months, and her sister, Mrs. Cotton, here and two sisters and four brothers back in the old Missouri home, to mourn her loss. Her father and mother have long preceded her into the spirit land.
The funeral services were held in the new Union church at Mayview, conducted by the writer, pastor of the Christian church of Pomeroy, and assisted by a large choir around the organ. The cortege was very large, and teaches us in unmistakable ways the pure and beautiful life this sister, wife, mother, teacher and christian lived.
"She is not dead! She has but passed
Beyond the mist that binds us here,
Into the new and larger life
Of that serener sphere.
She has but dropped her robe of clay
To put her shining raiment on,
She has not wandered far away--
She is not lost nor gone."
