Culver Herald March 18, 1898 - Another Old Pioneer Gone

When we stop to consider that there is about seventy-six million of people in the United States, we, in the hurry and rush of busness, hardly realize the emphatic fact that each individual has to meet death alone, that each individual has to answer to the call, whether prepared or not. Some live a great many years in this world of suffering and sorrow, aud the fact that they lived will be reverently remembered because of their suuny disposition, spotless character and worth toward elevating humanity. When individuals die, nearly all have friends to mourn their loss, and the subject of this sketch not only leaves a large circle of friends, but she leaves sons and daughters, who as the years roll by, will cherish more and more the memory of that mother who guided their footsteps in childhood, and counseled them in manhood and womanhood, and who, at the eve of her death advised them to make all preparation to meet her in that better world, where sorrows cease, and all is joy and peace forever more.

Funeral services were held at the M. E. church, Sunday at 11 o’clock a. m., Rev. Howard officiating. The church was filled with a large concourse of citizens to pay the last respects to this aged neighbor. The remains were laid to rest in Culver cemetery by undertaker Easterday.

She was married to Nathaniel Gandy in the year of 1830, and to them were born 13 children, seven boys and six girls- The husband and six of the children preceding her in death. Seven of her children are still living and were in attendance at the funeral.

She came with her husband to the state of Indiana in 1832, and settled in Franklin county and lived there 13 years, when she moved to Marshall county and lived here until her death.

She united with the United Brethren church about 45 years ago, but transferred her name to the M. E. church eight years ago. She had a number of grandchildren and great grandchildren, and a few great great grandchildren.
