I found this in an old copy of "Signs of the Times".
Hepsah Trumbo McMillan, daughter of Davis and Susan Trumbo, was born April 22, 1845, and died November 14th, 1926, age 81 years, 6 months and 22 days. She was united in marriage to Edward B. McMillian, December, 1895. She was a member of the Pleasant Hill Old School Baptist Church, of north of Delaware. She leaves to mourn their loss one brother, two sisters, three nephews andone niece, with many other relatives and friends. She became a member of Pleasant Hill Church at a session of the Indian Creek Association when held with the Caesar's Creek Church, and was baptized September 5th, 1902 by Elder George Weaver. She was highly esteemed by the church. As she lived some distance away she would come to Delaware by train to meeting when circumstances would permit. I was called to attend her funeral at Westerville on the 16th, at 1:30 p. m., and held a short service. Read hymn 822 (Beebe's collection), also read from John xi. 32-35, and made a few remarks, after which her remains were taken to New Albany, Ohio, to her last resting place. She looked so natural and so peaceful when I stood beside her casket I felt I could surely say, Asleep in Jesus, and when I saw her lowered in the tomb I felt that Jesus would raise her up again. We feel our loss, but my desire is that God in his great grace may enable us to bow in submission to his will, and enable us by his grace to say in our lonliness, Blessed be the name of the Lord. She died at the home of J.B. Mason, Westerville, Ohio, where she made her home. Mrs Mason was her great-niece.
