Obituary: Sister Mariah Everts of Napa
EVERTS.—Died, in Napa City, Cal., Aug. 10, 1882, Sister Mariah Everts, aged 73 years. Sister Everts united with the S. D. Adventist Church in Napa, May 23, 1875, and has since that time, been a faithful member. We had the pleasure of an acquaintance with her, at her home, as it was difficult for her to get out to meeting. But her whole soul was in the work, though deprived of many privileges which others enjoy. The following particulars we copy from a Napa paper:— “After an illness of several weeks, Mrs. T. C. Everts died on Thursday afternoon at the residence of her daughter in Napa, Mrs. M. L. Wilson. Mrs. Everts was born in Georgia in 1809, and was 73 years of age. She came to California in 1857, and lived at Benicia until 1863, when a removal was made to St. Helena, and she has lived in Napa Valley ever since. Her husband, Dr. T. C. Everts, died at St. Helena in 1864. She was the mother of eleven children, all living but one; viz., Mrs. M. L. Wilson, Mrs. Dr. Pond, Mrs. Ralph Ellis, Mrs. R. C. Rampendahl, and Mrs. D. M. Stockman; and Mr. F. D., C. N., W., A. W., and Dr. Edw. Everts. Mrs. Everts was a very estimable woman, having a great many warm friends in Napa Valley, and her decease will be very generally lamented.”
