HELEN (SMITH) FULRATH , daughter of William R. and Elizibeth Smith, was born August 30, 1846 near Chambersburg, Pa., and died November 27, 1913 aged 67 years, 2 months and 27 days. Sbe came with her parents to Carroll county, Illinois, in the year 1854 when a child of eight years, and has re­sided in Carroll county ever since, with the exception of about four year’s residence in Iowa. She was married to Adam Fulrath March 13, 1864 and to this union were born eleven children, six sons and five daughters, all living. There are also twenty-four grandchildren and a great number of relatives and friends to mourn her loss. She was converted at the age of thirteen in a cottage prayer meeting at Center Hill and united with the United Breth­ren church of which she remained a faithful member to the time of her death. Familiarly known as Aunt Hannah, she was greatly loved and respected by her family and all her acquaintances. She was a regular attendant at the services of God’s house whenever pos­sible, and nothing pleased her better than to be in a good spiritual meeting, whether in the prayer meeting, love feast .or regular preaching eervices. Her soul feasted upon the word of God, and her face beamed with light and joy under the preaching of God’s blessed word. She prayed and wept much over the condition of the unsaved. Often her soul travailed in agony over the unsaved and she offered the prevailing prayer of the righteous. Her home was always open to the tired and worn itinerant preacher and if ever the preacher found a welcome home it was at Sister Fulraths. She will be greatly missed in every way. In the home her husband will greatly miss a loving companion to cheer him in his declining years, children will greatly miss mother, and the home will be lonely, but her sweet spirit has gone to be at rest with God. In the church how greatly she will be missed. Not many fathers and mothers with us of her great piety and faith. Her kindness and suffering was of protracted duration and she suffered much for many weeks. All that kind hands could possibly do was done to minister to her com­fort and to make her as comfortable as possible. She fell asleep in Jesus about 2 o’clock November 27. Thus another saint of God has gone to receive the reward given, to the faithful. May husband, children and all her loved ones cherish her memory, and may all be so fortunate as to meet her on the side of the church triumphant. She was borne to her last resting place by her six Sons. The funeral was conducted from the Center hill U. B. church in the presence of a large concourse of relatives, friends and neighbors by Rev. A. X Harrison, Rev. E. E. Plumley assisting. The text was one of her own choice: Luke 23: 28; “Weep not for me but weep for yourselves and for your children.” A.X.H. (Contributed by Donald L.
