Swint, Katie A.

Submitted by Tamara Kincaide

KATIE A. DREHER SWINT

Katie A Swint nee Dreher, spouse of William Swint was born in Madison County IN, November 26,1849,was the youngest of four daughters of Ezra and Catherine Dreher. She removed with her parents to Rockport at an early age, where she was married to William Swint at an early age in 1868.The result of this union was three children, two girls and one boy. She died at her home in Boonville, on Tuesday February 11 1879, of pneumonia, after a illness of only one week, aged 29 years. The following is a tribute to her memory by one who knew her from childhood, tells the story of her life in language far more beautiful than any within our command. How rare, how beautiful, in all our virtues that adorned the character of wife, mother, daughter, sister only those who truly who know who shared the scared intimacies of her home life. How ardent and sincere it was in its friendships, how cheerful and sunny in its everyday influences, how informal and illuminated with the spirit of self sacrifice, many many sorrowing hearts can attest. Her affectionate loyalty to her friends was one of the most distinguishing traits of her character, and her conceptions of duty in this particular were ample and generous. No demand which sorrow or sufferings of her friends could make upon her time or patience ever went unanswered. No night was too dark to keep her from the bedside of sickness or death, and she carried everywhere the sunlight of hope and cheerfulness. Looking always to the better side of human nature, she refused to think of evil of her neighbors, and turned a deaf ear to the tongues of the slanderer. These were the qualities of mind and heart that endeared her to all with whom she came in contact. It is literally true that none knew her but to love her.

But it was in the atmosphere of her own home that was developed the perfect flower and consummation of her womanhood. Her devotion to her husband in its tenderness constancy, purity and trust, will never be excelled while the instinct of love abides in the human heart. He repaid it with all the affection of which a generous nature was capable. The attachment between them indeed was peculiarly interwoven with the whole history of their lives, for it began when they were boy and girl. Long before marriage was possible or even contemplated they loved one another. They loved as boy and girl, as youth and maiden, as man and woman, and their love grew and strengthened and brightened from first to last. It is the happy satisfaction of the writer that he knew of this attachment between them in their youth, and favored and encouraged it, when it was somewhat in his power to do so, because he had faith in them.

That Katie was a most fond and devoted mother need not be said, her love for her children was all pervading and intense. It is one of the saddest features of this untimely death, that the three orphaned ones are too young even to realize the depth of their mothers love. But they must be taught to remember that only a few minutes before she died in the midst of a deathbed scene of wonderful beauty and serenity, their mother prayed that it might be a part of her occupation in heaven to guard the earthly footsteps of her children. Her affection for her aged father and mother was touching in its freshness and constancy, they were ever in her foremost thought, she always spoke of them with reverential fondness, Among her last words were, A kiss for PA, MA. She is gone, some of us will linger on behind, bound to her by a thousand ties of love and gratitude, stand appalled before a calamity like this home destroyed, children bereft, a life plan thwarted on the very threshold of success. Pondering vainly perhaps the problems of life and destiny, groping blindly it may be for the life of a higher faith, we cannot understand why it is that one so young, so good, so necessary to the happiness of others should be thus suddenly taken away. But to her was given that higher faith. In her conception of the moral government of the world, even this stroke of desolation had its appointed place in the scheme of that all pervading problem .In that faith she died , died breathing a prayer for her dear children, and responding with the last effort of earthly consciousness to the kiss of a broken hearted husband.

Thornburg, Eveline Gardner

February 5, 1915 Boonville Enquirer

Eveline Gardner was the youngest daughter of Wm. and Frances Gardner. She was born in Ohio township, Warrick County, Ind., November 29, 1839.

On July 12, 1857, she was united in holy wedlock with J. C. Thornburg, and to this union twelve children were born, six of whom survive her; J. W. of Inglefield, Ind.; J.H., R.C. and Ida of Boonville; Mary Matthews and Ora Roderman of Evansville.

For many years she lived near or in this city, and had a large circle of friends and acquaintances. She was industrious and looked after her home duties and family interest in a careful way.
With increasing responsibility as a wife and mother, many years since, she was converted in a revival meeting and joined the Main Street Methodist Episcopal Church and remained a loyal and faithful member all of these years.

For some time she was an invalid, and at times during the past few years her suffering was intense. For months, she was confined nearly all the time to her bed, and only recently, when the pastor talked to her, she gave clear testimony to the truth that she was ready to go; her way was clear.
She was greatly interested in the spiritual welfare of her sons, especially during the last year or two, and thought, prayed and talked about their salvation. While she was interested in her sons, she did not forget the others of her household.

On Saturday, 2:20 a.m., January 30, 1915, the suffering ceased, and the soul took its flight from the pain racked body in which she had lived so long, to the beautiful home not made with hands, prepared for all who love the Lord. And at the age of 76 years, 2 months and 1 day, she quietly fell asleep.
The funeral was conducted by the pastor, Rev. D. P. Holt, from the family residence, Monday, 2:00 p.m., Feb. 1, and the body was laid to rest in Maple Grove.

FUNERAL NOTICE: Copied from an original funeral notice located in the Boonville, Indiana Museum.

Her illness was contracted by the constant care and nursing of an invalid mother, and a certain as there is a heaven, she is there.

Warner, Levi H.
September 8, 1916 Boonville Standard

LEVI H. WARNER - Well Known Citizen of the County Who Died at His Home in Campbell Township Last Wednesday - Sad indeed was the message early Wednesday morning that Levi H. Warner had passed away between the hours of two and three o'clock. His death was not due to bodily ailment or disease, but was the result of injuries received from an unruly horse as he was engaged in the labor of his farm.
Levi H. Warner passed into the higher and fuller life August 30, aged 73 years, 5 months and 25 days. He lived in the neighborhood of Fletcher Chapel, Campbell township, the son of Adoniram and Polly Warner, who, with a sister, Abigail, have gone before. He was united in marriage to Rebecca Ann Shrodes Jan. 10, 1867. Three children blessed this union: Mrs. Ella Jarrett, who is teaching near Indianapolis; Wm. Warner, at the home farm; Mrs. Wm. Mercer, of Spiceland, Ind. Five grandchildren mourn his loss: Miss Ethel Jarrett, his especial pride; Mildred and Clyde Mercer, Prentis and Eugenia Warner, all of whom were the pride of their grandparents.
Mr. Warner lived an exemplary Christian life, having united with the M.E. church at Fletcher Chapel in 1895. Although his pew is vacant his influence and personality will long remain, and all feel richer for having known him.
Mr. Warner held various positions of trust in township and county affairs but it was in his beautiful home life that the true man was seen, his genial and pleasant disposition wielding hopefulness and inspiration to those around him. His many sacrifices and gentle care for his wife, who has been an invalid for many years, are attributes worthy of commendation.
Although the family circle is broken, the affections torn and wrenched, the love balm of an undaunted faith, a holier trust still remains to assuage the grief of a broken heart and satisfy the longings of the soul. His is the glory, ours the waiting for it.
Mr. Warner was a member of the Odd Fellows at Millersburg and a soldier of the civil war. He served his country with honor during the dark days of battle when the scourge of slavery was effaced from his country.
As a member of the G.A.R., he participated in and enjoyed the happy reunions of his brother comrades. Touching was the scene as his comrades in arms gathered around the casket, which was covered with beautiful floral offerings and draped with the colors for which he had loved and fought.
The funeral took place Friday morning. Services were conducted by Rev. Ebert Ketcham at Fletcher Chapel. Favorite hymns of the deceased were sung by G. Holder, Mrs. Russell Jarrett and others. The large concourse of friends which passed by the funeral bier and paid the last tribute of respect to Mr. Warner was assurance of the deep affection and esteem in which he was held.
Burial took place at Morrison cemetery. The pall-bearers were John Shafer, John Toole, O.L. Dimmett, Ephraim Rowe, Ed Meece, Wm. Foster, civil war veterans, all of Boonville.
The muffled drum's sad roll has beat The soldier's last tattoo. No more on life's parade shall meet That brave and fallen few. On Fame's eternal camping ground Their silent tents are spread; And glory guards with solemn round The bivouac of the dead.
