Decatur County Journal
Thursday, February 3, l9l6
WELDON NEWS:
Another one of God's faithful, loving children has passed to her
reward. Another soul is at rest in the presence of Jesus. Another life
has been completed, lived as an immortal testimony of the peace and
contentment which may come into the human heart when it is presided over
by the loving direction of our Heavenly Father.
The life of RHODA ANN BARNES began in Greene County, Pennsylvania,
February l8, l846. Reared in a Christian family, she early made her
choice for a life linked with Christ and has never wavered. United in
marriage to JOHN TALLMAN, March 30, l870, she spent forty-six years as a
loving wife and companion. During the span of years the influence of a
Christian home has been felt in whatever community they have lived. Few
nights and mornings when it was possible, did they miss having family
worship.
She will be missed as a loving wife, but the great prayer of a devoted
life has been answered. She was cared for till the last. All of the
love which existed between this aged and devoted couple will make the
meeting in Heaven all the happier. "He shall wipe away every tear from
their eyes, and death shall be no more."
Into this home came seven children. BERTHA died in childhood, and
HESTER at the age of 35. FANNIE, ELLA, ROXIE, CARL and BRUCE, with the
bereaved husband mourn the death of a dear mother. Her ideals of a
Christian life, her purity, her desire to sacrifice herself for the good
of others, her love and faithfulness, have made her passing away the
greater loss. In the hearts of her children she will ever be surrounded
with all the honor, love and devotion that give so much meaning to the
word "mother." As a sister, her life has been one of willingness to
help and serve. She is survived by two brothers and two sisters; one
brother and one sister, who are present to pay her a last loving
tribute. Fourteen grandchildren have lost one who can never be
replaced. Her home was always filled with welcome and sunshine for
them.
This Christian home came to Weldon twenty-eight years ago and the heads
of it united with the Methodist Church. Since then MR. and MRS. TALLMAN
have always been found in their place of worship if it were possible to
be there. As a neighbor her life has been one of service.
The needy and the sorrowing ever found in her a loving friend. This
life has gone from us, but our loss is her gain. Her suffering is
over. She is at rest. While we, as loved ones mourn her passing away,
our hearts shall ever be filled with gratitude to our Heavenly Father
for a devoted Christian life so long spared. Her memory shall ever
remain.
CARD OF THANKS.
We wish to thank the friends and neighbors who so kindly assisted us
during the illness and death of our wife and mother. For the kindly
sympathy shown by all and for the beautiful floral offerings.
J.C. TALLMAN AND FAMILY.
