After having lived for more than half a century in her native state, she came with her husband and family to Missouri in 1871, where she has since made her home. Her husband, Jno. Erwin, died about 25 years ago, since which time Mrs. Erwin has made her home with her children.
She was the mother of twelve children, seven of whom survive to revere her memory.

In early womanhood, Mrs. Erwin became a member of the M. E. Church, South. She was a regular attendant upon the services of the church until the infirmities of age robbed her of that pleasure. Her life was always consistent with the teachings of Christianity and one of the joys of her last days, upon her death bed, was the singing of the old hymns that bore the messages of her heart.
Funeral services were conducted Sunday afternon at the M. E. Church, South, and the remains were laid to rest in the Bluff graveyard beside those of her husband.
