Elizabeth Colvin Hanthorn was born May 29, 1814 in Mason County, Kentucky; and at the time of her death May 1st, she was almost seventy-nine years old. She was one of a family of nine children. In 1840 she married Thomas Hanthorn, her late husband who preceded her to the spirit world almost sixteen years ago. Mrs Hanthorn, prior to her marriage with Mr Hanthorn, was married to James Colvin and by that union was born ex-chief of Police William R Colvin, lately deceased; her maiden name being Hardesty. Her father, Henry Hardesty, emigrated from the state of Maryland then to Kentucky, thence to Ohio and was one of the very early pioneers of Allen County. At the age of fifteen years Elizabeth was united with the M E Church and up to the time of her death lived a life of a sincere Christian and was perfectly satisfied to go to the great Master when the summons came. In life none knew her but to respect and love her; her's was a generous hand to the poor and needy, given in true Christian spirit, characteristic of true Christian charity. As a fond, faithful, and loving wife and true mother, we acknowledge none her superior, the memory of mother's presence we once enjoyed, the one who was the Christian counselor or our youth. Her idea associated with every charm of nature, in the freshness of joyous morning we remember her beaming smiles, and in somber evening we call to mind many a twilight hour of gentle talk and sweet souled melancholy.* Reference: Find A Grave Memorial - SmartCopy: Oct 3 2021, 2:48:01 UTC
