Livonia (Crone) Irwin (1862-1898)

DEATHS.
Mrs. W. H. Irwin

Livonia L. Crone was born near Mason, January 26, 1862 and died November 28, 1898, aged 36 years 10 months and 2 days. She was united in marriage to W. H. Irwin September 18, 1881. To this union have been born six children, three sons and three daughters, the oldest, Violetta May having died December 10, 1891. The surviving children are: Harry Lee, age 12 years; Nora Marie, 9 years; Willie Harold, 6 years; Livona Grace, 4 years and Ancel Glen, 18 months.
The funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church, in Mason, on Wednesday at 1:30 p. m., conducted by the Rev. S. A. Haupert assisted by Rev. J. P. Whitehead, of Newport, Ky. Six sisters of the deceased acted as pall-bearers, viz:
Mrs. C. W. Gorsuch, Mrs. R. Dill, Mrs. John Baysore, Mrs. Wm. Robinson, Mrs. Chas. Bennett and Miss Dee Crone.
The interment was in the Mason Cemetery.
There is no death that goes unmarked of sadness, but this one it seems more justly merits tears than any one it has been our painful duty to record.
She was a woman of infinite goodness, one whose every waking thought and sleeping dream was of her home, her husband and especially her children. As the news was heralded from her sick chamber of the ever increasing seriousness of her illness one and all within themselves felt a desire to say with desperate determination "it can not, it must not be" that she shall die and leave these little ones without a mother's care.
On yonder hill a fond husband and father has almost completed a house that will lack nothing in its comforts. It was to be their little happy world, a home of pleasure
[illegible]
Despite all known human efforts this could not be and at midnight, last Sunday night her hours of life were ended and she passed to that repose that knows no pain or grief or fear.
"Peace Let Her Rest,
God knoweth best"
At the solemn services befitting her death were being feelingly and eloquently said by the Rev. J. P. Whitehead, of Newport, Ky., her former pastor, to an audience that overflowed the Presbyterian church, not only among those present on the occasion, as they thought of the husband and children, but in every home where she was known, lips said
"God be pitiful
Who ne'er said God be praised.
Be Pitiful O God!"
