Note: States, Mabel Susan States nee Stine
Spirit of Democracy, Woodsfield, Ohio, dated, March 20, 1929
Mabel Susan Stine, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Stine, was born October 26, 1890 and died March 1, 1929, being at the time of her death 38 years, 4 months and 5 days.
Her father and mother died when she was but a few days old, but Devine Providence willed that she enter the foster home of Mr. and Mrs. Roseberry Cline, where she was reared from infancy, receiving all the care, guidance and love that was possible for parents to bestow.
The influence of this Christian home was so indelibly stamped, that it became a guiding spirit in her later life.
At a very early age she became a member of the Methodist Church at Antioch, of which she was an active member until the last.
She was united in marriage to J. Floyd States December 12, 1917. To this union were born two sons and one daughter. Lawrence Edward and David Ernest of the home, and Helen who died in infancy.
She leaves to mourn her loss besides husband and children; three brothers and two sisters; also three foster brothers and one foster sister; Mrs. Cora Alexander of Antioch; Mrs. Florence Carr of Crooksville; Albert and Charley Stine of Newell, W.VA; Ernest Stine of Hammondsville, Ohio; one brother, Oscar having preceded her in death; S.A. Cline of Kenmore, Ohio; G.H. Cline of Carrolton. Ohio; D.L. Cline of Renton, Wash.; and Mrs. Grace Hamilton of Antioch. One foster brother, O.H. Cline and a foster sister, Mrs. Frances Witten preceded her to the Great Beyond.
She was a loving mother, a faithful companion and affectionate friend and will be sadly missed in the home, church and community.
However, her work has just begun, her stage of preparation is over, she is now in the service of Him who does all things wisely and well.
May this be a consolation to husband, children and friends who mourn her sad departure.
Card of Thanks-We wish in this way to thank our friends for their kindness shown us during the sickness and death of our wife and mother, Mrs. Mabel States, and Rev. J.L. Baker for comforting words, also the singers and those who sent flowers and all those who assisted us in any way.
