Times-Tribune (Beaver City, Nebraska), Friday, May 29, 1903
Mrs. Eliza Jane Eaton, wife of Louis Eaton living six miles northeast of Beaver City, departed this life Thursday evening, May 7, 1903, at 8 o'clock. Funeral services were held at the M. E. church, Saturday, May 9, conducted by Rev. W. H. D. Hornaday. The scripture lesson was taken from Proverbs 31st chapter and 10th to 30th verses of same chapter; "But a woman who feareth the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruits of her hands and let her own walks praise her."
She was born in Canada and was sixty-three years of age. She was the mother of eleven children, seven of whom are living and were present at her funeral. She was converted and united with the M. E. church in early womanhood and has lived a consistent Christian life, hence she had no fear of the grave or death but was ready and willing to go. Her influence as a Christian wife, mother and neighbor will long be felt. For the bereaved husband and children the sympathy of all is extended.

Death of Marshall Ford. Another Good Citizen Called to His Reward.
On last Saturday at 1:30 P. M. Mr. Marshall Ford passed from life to eternity at his residence in Maryville, aged 63 years. Mr. F. had been a great sufferer with Bright's disease of the kidneys and for some time we understand his death was expected hourly. The funeral took place Sunday and was attended by the largest gathering ever known in the county, the procession being over a mile in length. The remains were consigned to rest in the Cain cemetery. Deceased was a worthy member of Maryville Lodge N., 165, A. F. & A. M., by whom, at his request, he was buried, almost the entire lodge of this city turning out. There were also a number of Masons from Burlington Junction, Pickering and Quitman in the procession. Mr. Ford was born in Pulaski county, Kentucky, May 27, 1819, where he grew to manhood. August 12, 1841, he was married to Miss Lucy A. Hutchison, who still survives him. Thirteen children were born of this union, seven of whom are living, honored citizens of the county.
Mr. Ford came with his family to this county and settled on the farm on which he died, in 1858, and has from that time been one of Nodaway's most exemplary citizens. In his death it may be truly said, our county has lost a valuable citizen.
The bereaved family have the sympathy of all in their trying hour.

--The Times is indebted to Chas. Davis, of Bolckow, for the following: Harry Jackson, aged 7 years and Lorenzo French, aged 8 years, were drowned in the One Hundred and Two river west of Bolckow Monday morning. They had gone there without the knowledge of their parents for the purpose of bathing. It appears that they were accompanied by a third boy, aged 6 years. He was afraid of a whipping on his return and hence did not give the alarm. It was not, therefore, until some hours later that a search was instituted. The clothes of the missing boys were found on the river bank. The whole neighborhood has been assisting in dragging the river, but up to this (Thursday) evening the search has been fruitless.

At Rest.
Mrs. Lizzie Furgeson, daughter of E. T. and R. P. Eckley of this city, died at Cambridge, Neb., on last Thursday and was brought here for burial. Mrs. Furgeson was only married last June and the young bridge has so soon been claimed by death. She caught cold a few weeks ago and went into a quick consumption which soon ended her life. The young husband and afflicted parents have the sympathy of all. The funeral services took place on last Sunday at 2 p. m. at the M. E. church, conducted by Rev. Parker assisted by Rev. LaTour. The sympathy of friends was manifested by the large congregation that gathered to pay the last sad tribute of respect.
Her last hours were peaceful and she expressed perfect satisfaction as to the future, being ready to go whenever God should call, for she realized "Thy hands have made me and fashioned me, give understanding that I may learn thy commandments," and the desire of her soul was expressed in the words of inspiration:
"I stretch forth my hands unto Thee! My soul thirsteth after Thee, as a thirsty land." How soon the wedding chimes change to the sad toll of the requiem bell. Today joy, tomorrow, sadness and yet, in faith, we can realize that our sadness is her joy for she is:
"Beyond the smiling and the weeping
Beyond the sowing and the reaping."
