YOUNGKER. Abigail, wile of David Youngker, departed this life January 12, 1887, age 76 years, 1 month and 29 days. Mrs. Youngker was born In Stark county, Ohio, Nov. 14, 1810. Moved with her husband to Henry county in 1866. She is the 14th that died out of a family of 15. An only brother survives her, and he lives In Kansas. She was the mother of 10 children, 7 of them preceded her to the Spirit Land. She never made an open profession of religion, but left abundant evidence to her children of a hope in Heaven. She was much respected by all her neighbors, as was evident from their kind attention during her illness, Her death was painless, life ebbed slowly away, easy and calmly, like the last flickering rays of twilight on a summer evening.

Our mother has gone to that beautiful home,
From sorrow and pain she is free;
On the banks of the river of life she may roam,
With her loved ones how happy she'll be.

Let our hearts be renewed; our souls be afire.
With heavenly grace from above.
That the Saviour may say, "well done, come up higher;"
And greet that dear mother you love.

Scipio.

Hamler, Ohio, Jan. 17, 1887. The family extend their heartfelt thanks to the friends and neighbors for help and sympathy during mother's illness and our sad bereavement.
