Elliott, Maggie - The Coshocton Age Friday, Feb 23, 1866 - Maggie Elliott Death, like an appalling specter haunts every pathway of life and dims every vision of joy. O, Death! Thou art ?the King of Terrors? ?The tear the groan, the knell, the pall, the heir and all we know, or dream, or tear, O! agony, are thine? No form, however, in which Death presents himself does he appear as appalling heartless and cruel, as when he drags down into his icy empire the tender wife and mother in the of her existence. To love deeply and tenderly and then to part; to gave upon that form cold in death; to imprint a kiss upon those bloodless lips; to follow the pale remains of death?s dark doings to the damp cradle of the earth, and then to return to our desolate home with a blank the in the region of the heart, this is the sharpest arrow in the quiver of the Almighty. Such was death?s doings when on the 6th instant he carried away Maggie, wife of J.S. Elliott, in the prime of her life. ?Her sun is gone down white it was yet day.? And like the sun, lighting up the earth and filling the western horizon with his parting beams and setting splendor, so her son of life, as a daughter, as a wife, as a kind neighbor, scattered the radiant mellow influence of happiness and joy all around. But her son has gone down ? down we trust, to rise and shine amid the splendors of an eternal day. May God bless the bereaved husband and mourning friends, in this, the night of their grief, with grace to live for that eternal life above. E. W.
