"Adaline Pennington Carrothers, daughter of Wm. Boyer and Elizabeth Pennington, was born in Wellsburg, W. Va., January 6, 1823; died at San Jose, March 7, 1900, at about 1 o'clock a.m., aged 77 years, 2 months and on day. While still a child she removed with her parents to Belmont Co., Ohio, then to Monroe Co., Ohio in 1837, settling near Woodsfield. When between 14 and 15 years of age she was converted and joined the Methodist Episcopal church, under the pastorate of Rev. Leeper, of Woodsfield, Monroe Co., Ohio.
She was married to E. D. Carrothers, April 22, 1841. Together they came to Illinois, landing in Pekin, Tazewell Co., in 1854; and settled in Boynton township, having remained there twelve years, they moved to this place, where they have lived thirty-four years. During all those early years their home was ever known as 'The home of the minister'. In her religious life she was simple in faith and full of trust, patient, unselfish, hopeful, confident.
She leaves a husband, five daughters and one son to mourn her loss. (As corrected by E. D. Carrothers)."
