The past thirty years have been spent at the home in Marne, where she died. She was one of a family of ten children, of which only one sister and two brothers remain, four sisters and two brothers having preceded her. When but a young girl she dedicated her life to God, uniting with the Methodist Episcopal church, becoming a charter member of the Marne church. She was more than a church member. She was a christian woman with a rich experience and a beautiful character. No unkind word ever escaped her saintly lips that would injure the feelings or mar the happiness of another. She never had an unkind word to speak concerning any one. She was loving and lovable. During all the months of shut-in life or the weeks of her illness during the past years, no word of restlessness or complaint was ever uttered. Her life was one of truthful peace and godly contentment.
