Tary Marilda Stevens departed this life Dec. 7, 1906, at her home near Atkinsonville, Owen county, Ind. She was born July 15, 1849, near the place she resided at the time of her death. She was united in marriage to William Hunsicker in the year 1867, whom she made a loving and helping companion until the death angel came and snapped the cord which bound her on this earth, but trust her soul has taken flight to the one who gave it. To this union were born nine children, two having preceded her in death. She was converted in the spring of 1889, at Mt. Pleasant, the same year she united with the Baptist church at Carolina. A few years afterwards she united with the M.E. church at Jordan. She could not attend church in her later days on account of poor health, but her thoughts and prayers were for her neighbors and church. In sickness or in death she would do all in her power to restore ease to the suffering and always willing to lend a helping hand. Her thoughts were for the suffering. She had many sorrows through life, but always had a kind word for everybody. In her declining months she told her many friends of her faith in God and that she had tried to live as best she could and knew he would take care of her. In her last moments she called on her blessed Saviour to relieve her sufferings while here on earth and take her home where parting would be no more. Her last words were "Sleep in Jesus, blessed sleep." Funeral was preached at Carolina church by Rev. Wm. Evans. The husband and children of the deceased desire to thank the friends and neighbors for their kindness and help during the illness and death of their loved one.
