West, Mrs. George (1815 - 28 JUN 1894)

Mrs. West, wife of George West of Pleasant Ridge, Clark County, died at her home, Wednesday night, June 28th, 1894, of paralysis, at the age of 79 years. The funeral was held at Pleasant Ridge Church, conducted by Rev. Foster, and the remains were interred in the Pleasant Ridge Cemetery.

She was born in Willshire, England in 1815, and was married at the same place 56 years ago to George West. They lived in England until 1849, when they, with their family, set sail for America and landed in New York City Nov. 1st. From there they went to Oconomowoc, Wis., where they lived until 1853, at which time they came to Clark County and settled on the farm where she spent her last days.

The deceased was a woman of quaint English type, peculiar to the Shire people. She was a most earnest Christian and a woman who made her home her world.
