Obituary
Nancy Caroline LEWIS, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. LEWIS was born at Butler, Tennessee, July 27, 1827. In early life she was converted and became a member of the old Cobb's Creek Baptist church.
On October 29, 1846 she was married to Benj. H. OVERHOLSERr to this union were born 9 children 4, of who have preceded her to the spirit world. In 1884 with her husband and most of her children she came to Rooks County, Kansas, settling on a homestead south of Codell, at which place she died December 20th, 1911, at the age of 84 years, 4 months and 23 days.
The subject of this sketch being the eldest of a large family of children, and in a newly settled country where educational advantages were limited, she was not a talented scholar but could read her Bible whose worn pages testify to its careful perusal. For the last twenty years of her life she has been a great sufferer from various ailments and learned to throw off the responsibilities of life, trusting everything to 'Him Who Doeth All Things Well." Soon after locating in Kansas, Sister Overholser united by letter with what is now Codell Baptist church at which place a large number of relatives and friends gathered at 11 o'clock a.m. December 22, 1911 to pay their last respects to the departed. Rev Clarke conducted the funeral services using as a base of his remarks the 23d Psalm, after which her remains were laid to rest in the Shiloh cemetery.
