... The following is the obituary of Mrs. Sutton's mother: Harriett (Jarvis) Cover was born in Noble county, Ohio, June 25, 1839; died at her home in Union township, Jasper county, Indiana, January 10, 1890, aged fifty years, six months, and sixteen days. Moved with her parents when three years old, to Belmont county, Ohio, and was there married to George N. Cover, December 15, 1859. She was the mother of eleven children, six girls and five boys, all of whom survive her. Among these eleven children are four pairs of twins. She was a teacher in the public schools for eleven terms, and a teacher and worker in the Sunday schools for many years. She joined the Christian church in 1853 and was a faithful and zealous member until the end. Her husband and all her children were present at the funeral, and also Mrs. Sarah E. Johnson, a sister, from Belmont county, Ohio. The funeral was held Sunday, January 12, and was conducted by Elder E. D. Pierson. The interment was in Prater graveyard. The sorrowing husband and children desire to express, through these columns, their sincere thanks to the many friends for aid and sympathy in
their affliction.
“A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
God in His wisdom has recalled
The boon His love had given;
And though the body moulders here,
The soul is safe in heaven.”
