Last Wednesday, Feburary 28th she seemed in her usual health, buoyant in spirit and in her usual happy frame of mind, conversing interestingly about family affairs. After supper she leaned back in her chair for a little rest and slept peacefully for a time. At ten minutes to eight she gasped twice, and the end of which time her spirit passed peacefully away.
The period of her earthly life, was 48 years, 10 months and 22 days. The funeral services took place in the Mt. Auburn M.E. church Saturday morning March 2nd, 1912. Rev. T.A. Timble officiating.
