ARBERY CONNELY'S OBIT
IN LOVING REMEMBRANCE.
Laura Arbery Connely departed this life July 29, 1894, at her home, six miles north from Decatur, Wise County, Texas, after a brief illness of nine days, surrounded by several of her daughters, sons-in-laws, grand children and great grand children, who minstered to her wants every act of kindness that loving hands could render. Grand mother Connely (for she was my mother's own mother) was aged 75 years, 8 months and 7 days having been born in Laurence county, Indiana, November 22, 1813. She with her parents, grand father and grand mother Walker, emigrated to Illinois, Clark County I believe-at an early day. In March 1837, if I mistake not in dates, she was united in marriage to Joel J Connely, who preceeded her to the unseen world some fifteen years.
There were born to them eight children, two sons and six daughters, four of which have been called to rest, four still remain to mourn their loss.
During the early settlement of Texas several years before the late war, Grand father and grand mother Connely, with their several children, moved to that state, building them a home in the forest where the wood man's was scarcely before ever heard.
Their neighbors were few, schools and churches were unknown in those parts of the country for many years. However they raised their children up to lead civil lives and most of them became christians. Grand mother Connely obeyed the gospel and became a menber of the Church of Christ, and continued faithful unto the end, and died as she had lived, in hope of a better life. The future seemed to have no fears for her. She told those who attended and faithfully watched over hfer, that the end was near. Calmly, and apparently without pain, she silently yielded her patient and loving spirit into the hands of God, whom she had loved and served, as I believed to the best of her ability. And who of us can do more? During her old age she had suffered much sickness, and had experienced many aches and pains; but she bore it all with true christian patience; and was always the same kind, tender and loving mother, one day with another. All who knew her loved her.
Oh, how she will be missed from that dear old home and especially by her kind and faithful daughter, Mrs. R. A. Boyd, who has lived with her and tenderly nursed her during her long years of sickness and suffering. God alone can and will reward her for her loving kindness bestowed upon her aged mother. With the poem we can say:
"A precious on from us is gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled."
"God in his wisdom has removed
The boon he has given;
And though the body moulders here,
The soul is safe in heaven."
