On Aug 5th, she was taken ill, and for three weeks her death was expected at any time. The last few years of her life was spent in almost total physical blindness, but with the exception of her sight all of her faculties were remarkably well preserved. Almost to the end, she knew the friends that gathered about her bedside to minister to her comfort. Her mind was clear and calmly and composedly she spoke of her approaching death and patiently and without fear waited for the coming of her Lord. Mrs Gamble was the daughter of Jesse and Pattie Snodgrass Cunningham and was born near Moorefield May 15, 1822. Though she had past her four score years and ten - a remarkable age - she did not attain to the days of the years of her venerable mother, who was almost ninety-three at the time of her death. In 1848, March 29, she was married to Mortimer Williams Gamble, in the same house in which she died. Of the union six children were born. Jesse Cunningham, who died at two years of age, and six who survive her; John, Samuel, Mortimer Williams, Kate, Alice, Bettie (Mrs B W Chrisman), all of Moorefield, and Mrs Laura Cunningham, of Hutchison Ky. In Feb 1872, she was bereft of her husband and for forty years of widowhood she learned a deeper dependence upon "The Father of the fatherless and the god of the widow. For fifty years she was a consistent member of the Presbyterian church. She loved her Bible, her church and its services and loyally supported it, and when the infirmities of age were upon her, she often came to the church in her wheel chair and sat through the services. At 3:30 Mon afternoon, Sept 2, the casket covered with floral offerings, was bourne to the church she loved and after service conducted by her pastor, her body was laid to rest by the side of her husband in Olivet Cemetery, overlooking the beautiful Valley where her entire life was spent. Her memory will be cherished in loving hearts until we shall again see her face to face. "So, He giveth his beloved sleep."
