Died at Bucyrus, Ohio, August 2nd, 1885, of consumption, Mrs. C. A. Ker-nodle, wife of John W. Kf rnodle, in the 64th year of her age.Mrs. Kemodle’s maiden name was Tiberghein. She was born in Miami county, Ohio, September 3,1821, and moved with her parents to Thorntown, Ind., when a child. It was at that time but an Indian village and her father erected the second, if not the first, cabin built by the white settlers. The red men were then very numerous in all that section. She was, therefore, one among the oldest settlers of the county and had very distinct recollections of the hardships and trials of the first settlers of a new country.She was married to J. W. Kemodle August 19, 1841. Was the mother of seven children, three of whom died in early life. Of the others, three were present at her death, and the other in Iowa. Her father’s family have nearly all preceded her to the “spirit land.” A sister, Mrs. Harvy Caldwell, lives near Thorntown, and Jerry King, a half-brother, at Shannondale, and Julia Proctor, Paoli, Kansas. Until 1883 she was a resident of Boone county, since that time of this place. Many of her friends of fifty years ago still Mger on this side of the river, “waiting till the shadows have a little longer grown,” when they will be permitted to meet her again, but not as they knew her here, a sufferer for many years, but as a glorified one in the Paradise of God.Mrs. Kemodle became a member of the Christian church in 1843, and was one of the charter members of the church in Thorntown, of which she will be remembered as one of the faithful ones, who was ever found at her post ready for every good work. Her deeds of charity to the poor and needy, the orphan and grief-stricken can only be known by the records of the Recording Angel.She was truly a mother in Israel, faithful in every relation of life as a wife, mother, neighbor and friend, filling all these qualifications almost to perfection. Of remarkable faith in the promises of God, never doubting in the least “that all things shall work together for good to them that love Him.” No wonder then that she died happy, retaining consciousness to the last, and comforting us continually with the assurance j that she was “going home.” Farewell,1 mother; for a little while we shall be separated, but we shall meet thee in the “Land of the Blest.”
