Obituary- Naill, Harriet 3

Obituary
Harriet Ruth Cowls, daughter of Julius and Elnora Cowls was born December 24th, 1855, at Belmont, Iowa, died at the home of her sister, Mrs. Ida May Stalker, of 1185 Clay street, Topeka, Kansas, July 2nd, 1914.

When about ten years of age she moved with her parents to Rockton, Ill., where her girlhood days were spent. In early life she was converted and united with the Methodist Episcopal church.

In 1879 she came with her parents to Kansas. She was married to Theodore F. Naill, Dec., 13, 1882. To this union were born eight children--five sons, three daughters, all of whom were at her bedside when the messenger of death came for her, except one son who died in infancy. She leaves to mourn her departure, a husband, seven children and three grand children, two sisters and one brother. Her children are, Walter Edward, of Fresno Texas, Harry Eberly, of Topeka, Kan. Ida Belle, Theodore F. jr., Jessie Vernon, Harriett Ruth and Nettie Mable, who are still at home with the father. Her sister, Mrs. Nettie A. Kent, lives in Beloit Wisconsin, Mrs. Ida May Stalker of Topeka Kan. and her brother Lucius J. Cowls in Kansas City, Kansas.

Rev. Dr. Gregg, of Lawrence, had charge of the funeral services which were held in the Presbyterian church, at Delia, Kansas, of which she had been a faithful member for the past six years, her remains were laid to rest in the Adrian cemetery.

Mrs. Naill was a kind loving mother, a faithful wife and a true friend, loved by all who knew her. She was faithful to her church, always ready to do the work assigned to her, with a cheerful spirit, and a loving heart.

She served as superintendent and as teacher in the Sunday school, and as president of the Ladies Aid, and at the time of her death was the church treasurer.

She will be greatly missed in the church, and in the community, as well as in the home. We only know it is a part of God's great plan to take her from us. Faithful to her God and faithful to her friends, she has entered into the full and final reward, bestowed upon all the faithful.

May the mantle of her purity and her religious devotion fall on the members of her family, whom she leaves behind and may [her] religious example be followed by those who in the day of eternity shall rise up and call her blessed.
