ELIZABETH (TEETERS) JENNINGS CHARLTON, 29 Feb 1816-19 Apr 1901

   Elizabeth Charlton was born near Albany, Mahoning county, 
Ohio, Feb. 29th 1816 and died at her home in Hudson, Steuben 
county, Indiana, on April 19th, 1901, aged 85 years, 1 month 
and 19 da.
   She was married to Jesse Jennings, August, 1832, and they 
moved on a farm 2 « miles west of Salem, Ohio, where they 
continued to reside until her husband's death, which occurred 
August, 1851.  To this union seven children were born, one of 
which preceded her to the other world, January, 1871.  She was 
married to Wm. Charlton in 1863, taking up a residence in 
Hudson.  She was converted in 1865 and became a member of the 
United Brethren church, of which there has been no more 
faithful members than she and her husband.  Wm. Charlton died 
in Septemer, 1889, leaving her again a widow.  Six children, 
one brother and two sisters are left to mourn their loss which 
is her eternal gain.  The three daughters were present,  
ministering to her last hours.  Two sons arrived after her 
death, the other one being absent on account of poor health.  
Mother Charlton was conscious to the last and her last 
utterances were in honor of the Christ she loved so dearly.  
Mother Charlton was kind and affectionate to her children and 
loved by all who came in contact with her.  She was good in 
sickness and distress, and will be missed not only by her 
children, but by all her neighbors and acquaintances.  She was 
always ready and willing to assist any who were in need and 
contributed liberally to the support of the church.  Her 
christian character and fidelity endeared her to the ministry 
of the church as well as to the lay membership and today the 
church mourns the loss of one who has been a comfort in its 
darkest hours.  Services were held at the U. B. church, 
conducted by Rev. H. C. Foote.  A large concourse of people 
attended.  The interment was made in the Circle cemetery, 
Sunday, April 21.  (Her picture accompanies the obituary.)
