Susan Ann Lucas was born Dec 5th, 1831, in Indiana and died May 6th, 1911, age 79 years, 5 months, and 1 day.

She came to Nodaway county, Mo., when a young girl and has ever since lived in this locality. She was married to John Lanning Sept 21st, 1849 and to this union was born 12 children, all living, but one. There are seven girls and four boys yet living and they were all present at the funeral services except one son, George Lanning. Her husband died March 3rd, 1905, and since then she has made her home with her children and the place she called her permanent home was with her daughter, Mrs Lewis Porter. She was converted and gave herself to God in early life and at one joined first the Presbyterian Church and later joined the Methodist Episcopal Church with her husband and all these years her devotion to God was very marked, and her life was a telling influence for good. Her Christian experience was a real vital force with her and she could well say with the Psalmist "Blessed is the man who walketh not in the council of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of its scornful."

Her life among her children was a constant inspiration and they rise up today and call her blessed. Her funeral was preached by Rev J.H. Thompson in the M.E. Church at one o'clock p.m. last Monday and interment was made in the Graves cemetery [Guildford, Mo].
