Lucinda Diehl, (nee Christman) [Source: The Spirit of Democracy Woodsfield, Ohio, Tues., Aug. 23, 1887]
Died at her home in Clinton, Missouri, August 15, 1887, Mrs. Lucinda J. Diehl, wife of George Casper Diehl, and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Christman, of this place. Mrs. Diehl was a bride of five short months, during which time she had left the scenes of her childhood, father, mother, brother, sisters and all that goes to make life happy, to accompany her husband to their new home in the West, with which she was delighted. Only a few days before her death, she expressed her satisfaction, little thinking her life so near its close.So sudden and unexpected was her death that friends here knew nothing of her illness until after the burial which took place in Clinton on the 16th inst.How little do we think, when we called upon to part with loved ones here, for a short time, that it may be forever, but such is often the case, and though the bonds of unity are severed by the hand of death, we have the blest assurance of an eternal life where death and sorrow cannot come.She was a faithful member of the Presbyterian Church.
Cherished daughter, loving sister,Steadfast ?neath the wiles of sin,We shall never know anotherKind and true as thou hast been.One by one the leaves are falling,Fading, falling day by day,And in silence heaven is callingOne by one our friends away.One more loved one sweetly sleeping,Our dead sister?s gone before,Yet we joy at thoughts of meetingBy and by to part no more.
