She taught several terms of the public school with good satisfaction. She was a good Sunday School teacher and was much loved by her class. She joined the U. B. Church with her husband at Mt. Carmel some years ago and in 1911 moved her membership to Aden U. B. Church, of this county.
She was a devoted wife, a loving mother and a faithful christian.
The funeral was conducted by her pastor, Rev. J. W. Brill, assisted by Rev. S. H. Flory, of the Brethren church. Song and prayer at the house, after which the body was taken to the Aden U. B. Church, where the funeral was preached and the many friends took a last look at the face of the one so much loved, after which the very large procession moved to Valley cemetery, where the remains were laid to rest.
All the children attended the funeral. We mourn but not as those who have no hope.
