Obituary

Ginevra Elder was born in Richardson county, Wisconsin, August 31, 1858, and died at her home near Moorefield, September 22, 1930, at the age of 72 years, 22 days.

She was married to G. W. Todd October 26, 1884 at Nelson, Nebr.

To this union were born six children, Gertie, who died in infancy, Delbert H., of North Platte; Mrs. Maude McLaughlin, Mrs. Vella Herndon, Verne E. and Merton E. Todd all of Moorefield.

She leaves to mourn her death her husband, five children, twelve grandchildren, two great grandchildren, four sisters, two brothers and a host of other relatives and friends.

When about eighteen she was baptized in the Christian Church to which she belonged until later years when she united with the Church of God here at Moorefield.

She was a most ideal example of Christian character and a mother’s love. Ever devoted to her home and friends.

The sympathy of the entire neighborhood is most sincerely extended to the bereaved husband and children and grandchildren, who will miss the pleasant word and smile "Mother" when they go home.

Mother is gone, yes gone we say;
Her words and smile cannot go
We part with her for the day,
But to her life we cling forever.
Her love, like that of God, is Love Eternal.

She was laid to rest in the Moorefield cemetery in the afteroon of September 24. Rev. E. E. Giesler officiating. She rests there to await the call of her master on the morning of the resurrection.
