Finley, Laura Ada Hilton Contributed by BarbR Dec. 2018 |
The Rice Belt Journal, Jefferson Davis Parish, Louisiana, Friday,
December 21, 1917 Mrs. Laura Hilton-Finley, wife of Luke D. H. Finley, died
Saturday morning, Dec. 15, 1917. Mrs. Finley had apparently recovered from a
siege of typhoid fever earlier in the fall but was overcome by a relapse
which followed. Funeral services were conducted at the Methodist church in Welsh
Monday afternoon, Rev. A. H. Sutter, officiating, and interment in Oaklawn
cemetery. Laura Hilton was born in Floyd county, Virginia, in 1878. She was
married to Luke D. H. Finley, March 6, 1896. They moved to Louisiana in 1904
and have since resided in the vicinity of Welsh. She was the mother of six
sons and one daughter. Elmer, the oldest son, died Sept. 7, 1917, and the youngest son,
James, died on Oct. 30 of this year, both from the effects of the dread
typhoid. A husband, three sons and one daughter are left to mourn the loss of
a loving wife and mother. Mrs. Finley's only relative in this section, a sister who lives
at Iota, was unable to attend the funeral on account of serious illness in
her own family, and for the same reason her mother and father who live in
Missouri, were unable to attend. Mrs. Finley had been a devoted Christian and
a member of the church of the Brethren since she arrived at the age of
fourteen years. She looked upon death as only transitory, like the passing
from one room to another, and entering a better place than this mundane
sphere. She feared not death, for like the immortal Bryant, in his beautiful
poem, Thanatopsis, says: 'And by an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave
like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to
pleasant dreams." The sympathies of a host of friends and neighbors are
extended to the bereaved family in their great loss. |
