I have not been able to locate her on the 1870 census. Let me know if you find her!
It is with profound sense of a great personal loss, and a heart burdened with grief that we convey to the many thousands of loving friends over the Church, the sad intelligence that Mrs. Annie Bone Eshman, the beloved wife of our greatly loved manage, Rev. A. N. Eshman, is no more iwth us on earth; but we rejoice that she has been translated to the realms of glory beyond.
She has been at West Point, Miss., for some weeks at the point of death, and during the early hours of the quiet peaceful Sabbath day, May 17th, she sweetly fell asleep in the arms of her blessed Savior to rest from her toils and trials.
Her funeral service was held in the Methodist Church, Huntsville, Ala., Monday at 1:00 p.m. conducted by Revs. J. L. Hudgins, Editor and B. J. Reagin, pastor of her church.
We know that the sympathy of the entire Church will be extended to our beloved Brother Eshman in his deep trouble.
B. J. Reagin.

A TRIBUTE TO MRS. ANNIE ESHMAN.
On Sunday, May 17, 1914, the spirit of Annie B., wife of Rev. A. N. Eshman, went to take possession of that mansion which the Savior promised to prepare for all those who believe on Him.
In her Nashville home, where she had the best medical treatment, it was evident that Mrs. Eshman was gradually declining. Her heart turned to the friends and trusted physicians in West Point, and her loving, devoted husband, to whom her slightest wish was law, immediately brought her here, and for one month, when her suffering was greatest, all that medical skill and tender affection could do, was done for the pain-racked body.
Hers was the baptism of acutest suffering. In the crucible of bodily pain she lay, without one murmur, and as the last vestige of earthy dross was burned out, the Divine Refiner saw His face reflected in her spiritualized face. She talked of heaven, she sang of heaven, and at the last, when the veil that intervened had worn to gossamer thinness--she communed with heaven. With our poor, imperfect understanding, we speak of her as "passing" or "departing." Not so--hers was an "arriving, not departing;" she has not died, but has entered into that life where there is joy forevermore.
The writer pays this tribute to Mrs. Eshman not in a professional way, but with sad pleasure the alabaster box of sincere affection, filled with the memories and associations of years, is broken and her body anointed to the burial.
A preeminent trait of Mrs. Eshman's character was her perfect poise, her self masterly, the capstone of moral strength. Hers was a finely blended nature, sweet, wholesome and large, feeling deeply and intensely herself, yet with fine, sweet charity, she was perfectly tolerant of the views and opinions of others.
Vivacious and bubbling over with the quiet humor, she met the grave and knotty problems that came to her as the associate head of a girl's school, bravely cheerily and no one ever saw Mrs. Eshman with the blues, or was burdened with a recital of her trials. She was brave, sunny and sweet-spirited; the world is better for her living, and there are hundreds of persons whose eyes the tears will rise, when they hear of the passing away of her whose beautiful example made an impression on their plastic natures.--The West Point Leader. West Point, Miss.

DEATH OF MRS. A. N. ESHMAN.
Today we record the passing away of Mrs. A. N. Eshman, beloved wife of Rev. A. N. Eshman, of Nashville, Tenn. This noble Christian character was known and loved by hundreds of women of Mississippi and adjoining states, having been associated with her husband in Southern Female College, this city, for many years, moving to Nashville a few years ago, where they established Radnor Female College.
One of the most pathetic scenes witnessed for many years was a member of S.F.C. girls the most of them no longer girls but wives and mothers, marching with the remains to the train, each carrying beautiful floral offerings to be borne away with the body as takens of love and honor for their departed friend.
The funeral services were conducted by Revs. J. G. Stewart and W. W. Mitchel, at the residence of Dr. J. W. Unger at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The remains were shipped to Huntsville, Ala., where they will be interred today.
Another of God's best on earth has folded her weary hands freed from the shackles of sorrow and sufferings and entered in the paradise pathways of perfect peace. Gentile, modest and retiring, her life was best revealed to those nearest and dearest. The roseate hearth-stone of home was her kingdom and from there her golden example radiates as the sunbeams of a perfect day. Through the weary length of winter she struggled into the perfect day of spring, gentle spring, symbolic of her life. We would not if we could, call her from her dreams of Eternal Spring. May we at twilight and evening star be as well prepared to answer that clear call across the bar.
The Times Herald, with hundreds of other friends in this city, sympathizes with the bereaved husband, aged mother and other members of the family in these dark hours of affliction.
