Underwood, Matilda Wilmot
Sunday morning Dec. 5th, (1915) Mrs. Matilda Wilmot Underwood exchanged the Sabbath's of earth for the neverending Sabbaths of heaven. She died of pneumonia, attentive physicians and loving attention being of no avail.
Mrs. Underwood was born in Garrard county, August 7th, 1847, early in life she married Mr. Luther Underwood and their four living children are Mesdames J. W. Bourne, Will Rigney and Jim Miller and Mr. John Underwood. Besides her children she leaves two devoted brothers, Messrs Jim and Ben Wilmott of this county and one sister, Mrs. W. H. Underwood.
Mrs Underwood was a lifelong member of the Christian church and the funeral services were held at her home near Danville Tuesday morning at ten o'clock, conducted by Eld. H. C. Garrison assisted by Eld. F. M. Tinder. All that was mortal was laid to rest in the Lancaster cemetery. So this life has passed into the joy of her Lord but the memory of her life must prove a perpetual inspiration.
