Elizabeth Adaline Gunn
Rockville Republican 11-29-1911 - Elizabeth Adaline Gunn was born near Prairieton, Ind.,
June 14, 1856, and departed this life Nov. 21, 1911. She was united in marriage to George
M. Laverty, Sept. 26, 1877. To this union were born six children: Wallace Aquilla, Mabel
Irene, James Benjamin, Myrtle Alice, Permelia Elizabeth and Harry Glenn, all of whom
are living. Mrs. Laverty, together with her husband united with the Christian Church,
under pastorate of B. S. Dailey in November 1887 and retained her membership in the
same church until death called her home triumphant. â€|During the last days of her illness
her greatest worry was in leaving her family, but before the end came, she had become
entirely reconciled with the will of God, telling her loved ones not to grieve for her as she
was going to her Heavenly home. One of her last expression was "Oh it is glorious." Soon
after saying this she fell into that dreamless sleep, the awakening of which is with God."
