Hopkinsville New Era
July 1886
Enters our midst and invades the sanctuary and quiet home of a Christian family, and robs the world and society of a noble lady -- Mrs.. Ben Undersood,Friday morning, at 3 o'clock, the spirit of this estimable woman, suddenly, but peacefully passed from this world of unrest to
repose on the bosom of God.She was the daughter of Mr. E.L. Foulks. She had been an invalid and great sufferer for years. A painful agony of suspensehung, like the mantle of terror, upon every visage of the many who admired and loved her. All the medical skill that the citycould command, concentrated as it was by the tenderest regard for the sufferer, was employed to stay the fell monster in hisprogress. But, alas! All that science, all that affection could do, did not suffice to stay the hand of the insatiable destroyer. Sheis gone, forever gone! Dread dissolution of earthly hopes! Dread dissolution of earth-bound ties. The deceased was an ardentand faithful member of the Methodist church; was a true woman, pious Christian, and left the impress of her noble life on the
hearts of many friends. Possessed of intellectual endowments of great vigor; moved by the impulses of a generous
philanthropy; graced by the dignity of character remarkable in one so young, she justly merited the high estimation in which shewas held by all classes, all sexes and all ages. As the sun sank below the horizon, her lovely spirit, illuminated by the soft andsilvered rays of Hesperus, winged its flight to her bright, bright home, far beyond the confines of sorrow and mortality.
