Margarett Ann Carder, daughter of Jesse and Eliza Carder, was born March
23, 1860, and passed into the beyond August 9, 1930; age 70 years, 4 months
and 16 days.
She was united in marriage to James Elston and to this
union was born three children, one son, Jesse, of Flora, two daughters,
Trella and Eva, of St. Louis, Missouri.
Her husband preceded her to
the beyond, eight years ago. She united with the Church of Christ at Sailor
Springs, twenty-four years ago.
She was a wonderfully faithful
mother and leaves a sacred memory to one son, two daughters, nine
grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, and others.
Her time is
past, her labor done,
But we are left our race to run;
Let her best
thoughts and deeds support,
And steer our bark to'ard Heaven's Court.
