- GRACE TURNBULL was born in Hansterd, Yorkshire, England, Nov. 10, 1815, and fell asleep in Jesus Thursday night Nov. 21, 1889,aged 74 years and 11 days.
In the days of her youth---1832--she gave her heart to God, joined the M. E. Church, and ever after exemplified a true, worthy, consistent Christian life.
In 1835 the .family removed to Philadelphia, Pa., where the next year she was married to Mr. Wm. Turnbull, who died in 1878.
In 1839 they removed to this county where they lived respected, industrious lives.
Mrs. Turnbull was a most charitable lady - charitable to the poor, distressed and indigent sick, and always loath to speak of the shortcomings of anyone. If she could say no good she would say no ill of a fellow being. The best evidence of her real worth is the fact that her children "rise up and call her blessed."
A large concourse of sympathizing neighbors and friends were represented at the funeral obsequies at the M. E. Church Sunday afternoon, upon which occasion Rev. Wohlfarth, preached an eloquent, comforting discourse after which the body was laid to rest in its tenement of clay beside that of her husband in our city cemetery. Thus doth the reaper death claim his victims. Death, the king of terrors to those only who, of their own volition make it terrible. And the thought comes here, who among us so live, who so conducts his life that at any time the dread messenger summons, he can exclaim, "I wait thy bidding! Where, oh Death is thy sting?" Few, very few. No one on earth can read the thoughts of a fellow mortal. But the book of books says: "By their fruit shall ye them." And making a literal application of the quotation in the case of our deceased friend we feel certain that her spirit is sanctified and redeemed beyond a rational doubt settled affirmative the affirmative interrogation of Job: "If a man die, shall he live again?" Glorious hope!
