      Obituary: Mrs. Elizabeth Figgins. Kalona News, Mar 2, 1916

      Elizabeth, daughter of Jeremiah and Anna Rich Snider, was born June 11, 1829 at Morristown, West Virginia and died at her home near Kalona, Iowa, February 27, 1916, aged 86 years, 8 months and 6 days. She moved with her parents to Iowa in October 1840 (sic 1842) since which time she has resided continuously in Washington county, a period of more than 75 years. Twenty five years ago today she moved to the farm which has since been her home.

      In 1850 she united in marriage to Geo Figgins at the home of her parents, near where Kalona is now located. To this union was born ten children, six boys and four girls. Of this number seven remain to mourn their loss. They are Jackson Figgins of ?, Michigan, Mrs. Dicy Arnold of Ottumwa, Mrs. Ella Gillmot of Des Moines, Mrs. Amanda Boehme, Dow, George and Jacob of Kalona. Of those who preceded her in death, one daughter, Mrs. Ida Darner of Longford Kansas died during her mothers illness.

      The husband departed this life November 11, 1890. The deceased has been for a number of years a member of the M.E. church in Kalona. All of the children now living with the exception of one son and one daughter have been at the mother's bedside, and all that loving hearts could devise has been done for her comfort. She who so industriously looked after the welfare of her family, was in turn ministered unto, in her declining years.

      Besides her children, she leaves 28 grand children, and 16 great grandchildren. All of her brothers and sisters have gone on before. She was the last of her father's family, and one of the last of the early pioneers. Mrs. Figgins was next to the youngest in a family of 12 children. And coming to this vicinity when Iowa was yet a territory, has witnessed all the great changes that have taken place. From its wild state inhabited by Indians, and overrun by wolf and deer she has seen the gradual settlement of the community with its log cabins dotting the landscape here and there. Has marked the laying out of all the roads, except the old stage line, has seen the settlement of most of the towns and villages of this part of Iowa; has watched the building of bridges, the coming of the railroads; has seen the log cabin of pioneer days give place to modern homes. She has watched the passing of the family loom and the advent of the sewing machine; the departure of the merry spinning wheel, to give place to the piano.

      The yoke of oxen has ceased to toil, and even the lumber wagon that could carry the entire family to church is superseded by the automobile. Electric lights take the place of the tallow candles she used to make. And thus all along the line, new inventions are doing the tasks her hands had learned to do in days gone by. In all these changes she has had her part, and rejoiced as all brave pioneers must have done, to see the results of their labors. And while privation marked the lot of the early settler, yet their lives were not devoid of happiness. And many tender memories cling round those early days. Their very surroundings make hearts braver, friends truer, lives richer.

      She has finished her day of toil. The beautiful sunset of life has come. And her heart turned to is haven of rest as she softly hummed "Rock of Ages" during her days before going home. Almost her last words were "Glory to God in the highest." Tenderly we fold her frail hands in rest, knowing her spirit has returned to the God who gave it. And it is written "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man the things which God hath prepared for them that love him."

      The funeral was held from the M.E. church, conducted by her pastor, the Rev. O.E. McBride. Interment was made in Snider cemetery, which was given as a public burial place by the deceased's father in an early day.

      Card of Thanks

      We, the children of the deceased, Mrs. Elizabeth Figgins, which to express as far as words can, the heartfelt gratitude and appreciation that we feel toward our friends and neighbors for their kindly sympathy and assistance so freely extended to us in our recent bereavement.
