She united with the Christian Church at the age of fourteen years, and was faithful until God called her.
She was a loving wife, a devoted mother and a kind neighbor, beloved by all who knew her, with her always cheering word and happy face. Never tiring in her efforts to make others happy.
Dear Mother we miss you, with your face so sweet, The home seems so lonely without you to greet. God said, Come home, Mother, Your toils are all o'er, Soon, soon we will meet On Eternity's shore.
Funeral services were held Monday, October 30th at 10:20 a.m. conducted by Rev. Thos. G. Bachelor.
