David McCulloch and Elizabeth Bonar
This information was provided to me by Robert L. Edwards, 736 Meadow Wood, Villa Hills, KY41017.It appears that the Bonar Genealogy listing Nancy Worstall as wife of David McCulloch is in error.From the obit, it appears that David's wife was Elizabeth.I have information that her maiden name could be Bush or Rush.
Does anyone have Elizabeth's maiden name?
OBITUARIES:
BONAR. -- In Elk Township, Noble Co., O., February 17th, 1875, of lung disease.Mrs. Elizabeth Bonar, in the 75th year of her age.She survived her husband one year and five months.She with her companion moved from Brook County, Virginia, in 1832, and settled on the place where they lived and died.They together united with the Baptist church, called Roadfork, in 1853, and was of the constitutive members, and remained members until death called them to join the Church triumphant. Mother Bonar will be missed, her religion ran through all her relations, and family, the Church, and the world.Her seat at Church never was vacant, when she could be there.She had been a paralysis sufferer for several years.Now it is finished, her sufferings are over.She anxiously, but patiently waited her Masters call.
Our mother hath laid her armor down,
For to obtain her prize,
And to receive her promised crown
That waited her on high.
BONAR - In Elk Township, Noble county, O. September 14, 1873.David Bonar, of old age and general debility; aged 77 years and 7 days.Father Bonar was born in Brook county, Virginia, September 7th, 1796, and moved, with his wife and child, to Ohio March, 1823, and located on the east fork of Duck creek, which was then Monroe county, where he lived until his death, and experienced the hardships of an early settler, and raised a family of five children - four sons and one daughter - all of whom survive him.The strongest link was the first to break, as he was always stout and healthy until old age entered the strong house.He united with the Baptist church the year 1853, and was one of the constitutive members of the church called Roadfork, where he remained a member until he was called, as we trust, to join the church triumphant above, leaving an aged companion, the choice of his youth, and many other friends to mourn his loss.
Farewell, father, though hath left us,
We our loss to deeply feel;
But 'tis God that hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
