"Mary (LANE) McCORD
July 20, 1894
Clinton Public
DEATH OF GRANDMA McCORD
Mary LANE was born in Kentucky, January 31, 1818, [and] died at the home of her son J. T. McCORD, July 5, 1894, after an illness of only half an hour.
She came to DeWitt County, Ill., in 1830 and is therefore a "snow bird. "She united in marriage with Jacob HARROLD in 1834. At that time there were but few settlers living here. Among those of her neighborhood who are living are Mr. and Mrs. F. D. ROBBINS, of this place, and Mrs. W. N. BOTKIN, now of Kenney. Mrs. Botkin was then and ever afterward remained one of her nearest friends. Not long since, while in conversation with the writer, in relating some of the happenings of her younger days, Grandma McCord remarked, "I reckon no two women had more enjoyment together than me and Nancy Botkin." Jacob Harrold, her husband, died in 1849. Of this union seven children survive. She was again married December 5, 1863, to J. W. McCORD, who departed this life November 21,1891. Three children survive this union.
The funeral services were held on Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the M.E. Church of this place. Rev. H. B. MONTGOMERY of Decatur, preached the funeral sermon, taking for his text Rev. xiv-13, "And I heard a voice from Heaven, saying, blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors,and their works do follow them." It was a grand subject on a grand subject. While our hearts are filled with sorrow at the loss of one so dear, we know it is infinitely better for her who is in Heaven, free from all earthly doubts and fear and where no pain is ever allowed to enter.
It was intended for the interment to have taken place at the McCord cemetery immediately after the funeral, but on the account of the non-arrival of Mrs. James SUTTON, of Superior, Nebraska, daughter of the deceased, who was detained at Galesburg Saturday, by failing to make train connections, and not arriving in Farmer City until 10 o'clock P.M.Sunday, the burial took place Monday. A vast concourse of people assembled to pay the last sad rites of respect to the remains of the departed. Her relatives were many and her friends numbered thousands.
For over three quarters of a century Grandma McCord has lived on earth. Her life has been replete with acts of kindness and deeds of love and mercy, winning esteem, affection and love from all with whom she associated. Over forty years, nearly half a century ago, she professed the religion of the Lord Jesus and united with the M. E. Church. She lived not only a consistent but a devoted Christian the remainder of her life. She has been called to her reward, and has gone to be with her Redeemer.
The grief-stricken relatives have the sincere and heartfelt sympathy of the whole community, for they know there is one gone from our midst whose place can not be filled, a vacancy which will remain..."
