OBITUARY
.....Jessie F. Riggs-Gilman, daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth Riggs, was born April 11, 1862. She was converted and joined the M. E. Church when she was eleven years old, and lived a devoted Christian life. She was a woman of strong mind and was well educated. She was married to George W. Gilman, No. 4, 1883, and of this union two children were born -- Sheldon and bertha, who, with her husband, survive her. Her disease was consumption from which she has been suffering for two years or more. Some three months age, with the hope of improving her health, she went south to Marietta, Ga., where she remained until Dec. th, when all hope of recovery was abandoned, and in company with her brother and sister, E. E., and Mary Riggs, she started for home, reaching Cincinnati Friday evening at 5:20 P. M. where she boarded the steamer Telegraph, but her strength was exhausted and she died on board the Telegraph at 8:30 P. M., Dec. 11, 1891. Her funeral was preached at Clay Chapel, Sunday, Dec. 13, 1891. The large congregation that was at her funeral proved that she was loved and esteemed by many. Here are a few of her last words: "They are coming--grand! Oh, such music--Ed, don't you see him?" "Who, Jessie?" "Jesus: oh, how beautiful! Tell George I tried so hard to get home. Now he must come to me and bring Sheldon and Bertha. Heaven!" And at last, with a face illuminated, she exclaimed, "Jesus," and sunk peacefully to rest --P. Henry [Gallipolis Journal, Wednesday, December 23, 1891]
