Obituary written & signed by Thomas J Monroe, pastor of Mt. William Church:
______________________________
On the evening of August 5th, 1894 at his home in Wirt County, West Virginia, Henry Barnabas Hylbert departed this life, aged 67 years five months and 11 days.
He was born February 18, 1827 in Nicholas County, West Virginia and made that his home. He was converted at twelve years of age and joined the Mount Pleasant Baptist Church and remained a member of that church until he moved to Wirt County, West Virginia in 1852. He then united with the Good Hope Baptist Church near Reedy, Roane County, West Virginia. Then in 1889 when the Mount William Baptist Church was organized he was a charter member and remained a faithful member of that church until death.
Uncle Barney, as he was called by all who knew him, was as near a model Christian as I have ever seen. He was a good neighbor and friend to all. When any benevolent object was presented to the church he was always ready to assist and that liberally. In paying the pastor he always gave more than any one else in the church.
His funeral was preached by Rev. Thomas J. Monroe, the writer who used as his text I Samuel 20:18, "Then Jonathon said to David, tomorrow is the new moon: and thou shalt be missed because thy seat shall be empty." That was the largest congregation ever assembled at that place for his friends were many, and he was kind to all.
His sons eight in number carried his remains to the Mount William Cemetery where he was buried. Uncle Barney leaves a widow, Mrs. Sarah Jane Hylbert, eight sons and two daughters, all living.
I have been his pastor three years and his home was his pastor's home. He always was the most resigned man to the will of the Lord I have ever seen. Mount William Church has lost a noble member and the community one of its best citizens. May the rich blessings of God rest upon the family in their bereavement.
Signed: Thomas J Monroe, pastor

Notes:
MHR note: Nataniel Boggs died when his daughter Elizabeth was nine years old.
LKH note: all census and burial records I can find show that Elizabeth was born about 1872 and her father Nathaniel died in 1910. HOWEVER, her mother Alvora could have indeed died when Elizabeth was 9 years old. Nathaniel Boggs married first to Almira King in 1850, They had 5 children who appear in census records. He married a second time to Alvira (E. Jane) Valentine in 1868 and they had five children who appear in census records. He married a third time to Nancy M. Cline in 1885. It is most probable that his first and second wife died before he remarried.
