ELLA SINEX
Lieuella Ozena (nee Walker)
Salem, Washington County, Indiana
October 1925

Mrs. Ella Sinex, daughter of William S. and Malissa Walker, was born about the year 1866 near South Boston and passed away October 19, 1925.

She was married to Thomas Sinex about thirty-five years ago. To this union was born seven children, Mabel Wilcox of Puyallup, Wash., Ruth Hesse and Joyce Hesse of Tacoma, Wash., Fern Gregory of Auburn, Wash., Reuben and Ford Sinex of Seattle, Wash., one daughter dying with typhoid before their removal to Washington.

She joined the Cross Roads church while young and later moved her membership to Conoway M. E. church. Still later she joined the Saints church, living a faithful life until death.

She had been in ill health for six months before taking to her bed where she lay for five weeks, then grew better. But her illness soon returned, dropsy ensuing and her sufferings were very great. It lacked five days of being four years since her husband was taken, when she, too, passed away.

The writer of this and his wife have passed many happy hours with both Mr. and Mrs. Sinex at church and Sunday school when we were young.

"Oh, be faithful, be loyal and true, For some one is looking to you." S. O. Payne.

In Memory of Mrs. Ella Sinex

Beautiful precious sister,
You've left us here on earth
But the Lord has taken you to Heaven
Because He knew your worth.

He knew your love and patience,
Your true Christ like life here on earth;
He knew your sickness and suffering
He knew your death and your birth.

Born of the spirit of Jesus
To be raised in the likeness of God
You'll sing praises forever and ever
In the Home where the faithful have trod.

Home where your loves are waiting,
Beckoning, beckoning come
Up where Jesus is waiting
The redeemed to welcome home.

And now my precious Sister
We gently bow our head
While we submit to our Father's will
Who doeth all things well.

Written and composed by Mrs. Emma Rush.
