With willing hands and a tender heart she was ever ready to lend aid and comfort to those who were in distress, and was always the happiest when engaged in doing good and helping other. her sympathy came from the heart was therefore deep and lasting. She belonged to no church; to do good was her religion, nd as to how well she followed this precept. Her many friends maybe the judge. The rule and guide to all her conduct was love and charity. These elements of character were with her in youth, followed her through life and were with her when she bade us the last farewell. In the last days of her life, her greatest anxiety was to the welfare and comfort of those whom she was soon to leave behind.
