NEWLIN, Eleanor BOYD
Clark County Herald
24-Feb-1897
Mrs. Eleanor Newlin died at the home of her daughter, near Cleone,
on Saturday, Feb 20, aged 77 years, 1 month and 12
days. The funeral services were held the following day
and the remains were interred in Good Hope Cemetery.
Eleanor, youngest daughter of John and Rachel Boyd, was born near
Robinson, Illinois, on Jan 8, 1820. She married Eli
Newlin in 1835 and three years later they moved to Clark County to
spend the remainder of their lives. Nine children were
born to them and six of those are yet living. Mr.
Newlin died on March 29, 1865, and since that time the widow made
her home with her children. She sent three brave sons
to the war to battle for their country’s life and honor.
Mrs. Newlin was one of the pioneers of Clark County and was very
proud that she heard the famous Lincoln Douglas debate in
Charleston in 1858. She was a great admirer of Lincoln
and a bitter foe to slavery. The neighbors delighted
to gather around her and listen to her tales of the happenings of
her early life as well as her interesting reminiscences of war
times. Her memory was remarkably retentive until a
short time before her death.
Mrs. Newlin was taken seriously ill with grippe on Feb 14th and
although all that loving children and kind friends could think of
was done, all was of no avail and on Saturday the dear old eyes
that had beamed with love and intelligence slowly lost their
brightness, the failing breath fluttered for an instant then all
was still.
She was universally beloved and no one will be more sadly
missed. She was ever ready to minister to the sick and
the needy and many to whom she has ministered in sickness will
drop a silent tear when they know that Aunt Nellie, as she was
lovingly called by everyone has passed from time to
eternity. No mother could ever do more for her
children than she has done and those who survive her can
truthfully say, “There is no love like a mother’s.”
Farewell, dear mother, sleep on. As we take a last
look at your loved features, now cold in death, we know that your
suffering is over and that you are at rest. Although
it seems almost more than we can endure to give you up, we shall
console ourselves with the blessed assurance that at sometime and
in some way when this wearily life is over and we have all crossed
the dark river, we shall meet again in a better land.

The following poem was taken from a family letter his wife Hazel
wrote in 1967.
A little more tired at close of day,
A little less anxious to have you away,
A little less ready to scold and blame,
A little more care for a brother's name.
And so we are nearing the journey's end,
Where time and eternity meet and blend,
A little more leisure time to sit and dream,
A little more real the things unseen.
A little nearere to that ahead,
With visions of those long loved and dead,
And so we are going where all must go,
To the place the living may never know.
