EICHER. Mrs. Nancy Ann Grigsby Eicher, departed this life February 25, 1897, after a brief illness. Sister Nanny, as she was often called, was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Grigsby. She was born on March 7, 1877. All her life has been spent in the neighborhood of her birth. Her childhood, her youth and school days were known of all neighbors and friends. She was married to Charles Eicher Dec. 24, 1893. In her demise she leaves a husband and a little son eighteen months old. There is hope--while kind friends and loved ones are mourning her loss, she dies in Christian faith and hope. She was converted to Christ nearly two years ago, having cast her lot in with the Pilgrim band then working in the neighborhood. Funeral services were held at the home, near Central Point, and the remains were put to rest in the Central Point cemetery--to awaken again on the great resurrection morning. Text for funeral services: Hosea, 13, 14, "I will ransom them from the power of the grave: I will redeem them from death, O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction; repentance, shall be hid from mine eyes. A Friend.
