With her husband and children she came to Oklahoma in 1921, and locating near Alex, where she spent the remaining years of her life. She was a member of the Lyerly, GA., Order of the Eastern Star, but never transferred her membership. In her death her husband and children have lost a companion and mother whose loyalty never wavered. She was a devoted Christian woman and in her home radiated that contentment and peace which comes through communion with the divine Spirit. And while suffering from ill health for several years she was patient and uncomplaining happy to be ministered to by her loved ones, yet appreciating the kindly ministrations of her neighbors and friends. Always rejoicing in the truth, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be aided unto you".
