Obituary .
Frances Monger was born in Warren County, Ohio, May 3, 1833, and was married to John Keenan September 11, 1851. To this union was born three children, Belle, Milton and Thomas, the latter departing this life July 1, 1881. The two former, Mrs. Belle Allen, residing at Clearfield, and Milton Keenan in Illinois, were with her in her last illness. Mrs. Frances Keenan was left a widow January 21,1857 and on August 22 of the same year was united in marriage to Jehiel [Gregory] Watkins. To this union was given eight children, two of whom died in infancy. A son, [Isaiah] Edgar Watkins, died December 16,1881. The remaining children, two sons and three daughters, were constant and loving attendants at her bedside during the last two weeks of her life. One son, Roscoe Watkins, and a daughter, Mrs Dora Bates, reside in Conway, Mrs. Manta Grubb, near Conway, James Watkins near Clearfield, and Mrs. Ella Swartz, of Hancock county, Iowa.
In October, 1876, she with her husband and family, moved to Taylor County, on a farm three miles east of Conway, where they resided until the year of 1891, when they moved to Conway where she has since resided. On March 26, 1897, death again visited her home taking from her her companion, Jehiel Watkins, it being the 81st anniversary of his birth. Mrs. Watkins gave her heart to God and united with the M. E. church when but a young girl, and has been a consistent faithful member all these years. During her last illness, which was of only two weeks duration, she repeatedly spoke of her time in life being short and expressed herself ready and willing to go. On December 20, 1899, an hour before the sun had reached its meridian, the imprisoned soul took its flight [to] the God who gave it, the worn, faithful hands were gently folded, the eyes, grown dim with age and constant care, but now shining in immortal glory, were lovingly closed for the last time, and a loving, devoted mother, a faithful friend and kind neighbor was at rest as one "who foldeth the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams." The funeral services were held in the M. E. church at eleven o'clock Friday, December 22, conducted by the pastor Rev. Ewan, assisted by Revs. Hughes and Faucett. The pastor preached a helpful and comforting sermon from the words found in Phil. 1:21: "For me to live is Christ to die is gain."
Loving friends had beautifully decorated the church with plants, while beautiful flowers were placed in the folded hands and on the breast of the lovely, quiet form, and a beautiful wreath and two lovely pillows of flowers rested on the casket. After the services at the church, which were attended by sympathizing friends, the remains were followed to the Conway cemetery, where she was laid to rest by the side of her husband. Mrs. Watkins has a large circle of friends to whom the news of her death came as a shock, as it is so recently that she was permitted to pass in and out among us, and who deeply sympathize with the bereaved family.
Following are some appropriate lines composed by her daughter, Mrs. Dora Bates.
Life is over, death is sweet;
Lay the lilies at her feet;
Meet, they rest upon her bier,
She who walked among them here.
Gently fold her wasted hands,
Smooth her hair in silver bands
O'er the brow, whose lines of care,
Time has wrought so gently fair.
Calm and still, no wild alarm
Stirs the heart whose sweetest charm
Lies beneath the churchyard sod;
She has known the widow's God.
Weary grew her eyes, and dim,
Mourning day by day for him,
While she watched and waited long
For the angel's greeting song.
Oft when worn with grief and pain,
Could we but feel her touch again
It would calm the aching brow;
But no sigh she heedeth now.
But we would not call her back
More to tread life's dusty track;
She hath done her life's work well;
Let the lily petals tell.
