| Text | Died, at her home near Jenkins, Nov. 7, of pneumonia, Mrs. Mariah Sullivan, aged 82 years, 4 months and 21 days.
She was the daughter of Jesse Galloway, and was born in Jefferson Co., Ind., in 1817 and came to Barry County in 1837; was married in 1840 to M. Langston. She was left a widow early in life and married John Sullivan in 1875. He died several years ago and she remained a widow the balance of her life. She leaves four children: Henry and A.J. Langston, Mrs. G.R. King and Mrs. John King. About three years ago a horse fell with her and broke her shoulder from which she never fully recovered. She was loved by all who knew her for her kind and charitable disposition, and her death will be mourned by many relatives and friends. She professed religion early in life and for the past fifteen years has been a member of the Church of Christ, but she has answered the call, "Come up higher." Her mansion on earth is left desolate but her heavenly mansion is tenanted. She was laid to rest in the King cemetery amid a large gathering of relatives and neighbors with singing and prayer by L.T. Boucher. The thanks of her relatives are tendered to the kind friends and neighbors who so willingly assisted in nursing her in her last illness...G.R. King Research Note: Mariah was born in Roane County, Tennessee not Jefferson County, Indiana as stated in her obituary. She was buried in Kane (King) Cemetery, Jenkins, Barry, Missouri. Kane Cemetery is also known as King Cemetery. It is located up a private gravel lane by the rodeo ground, mowed & fenced. It is north of Mark Twain National Forest and south of Jenkins. The person who sent me a photo of Mariah's grave wrote: I found Kane Cemetery; had to drive through a cow pasture to get to it but it is well taken care of...fenced and mowed. There's a verse on the bottom of her marker that reads "A mother's voice is hushed in death, Her deeds of love are o'er. Her spirit has flown with her parting breath, To the bright eternal shore." |
