At the time of her death she was seventy-one years, five months and six days old. She was a christian lady, a kind neighbor, a true wife and a loving and indulgent mother. For many years she has been a resident of this vicinity, and where she is best known, she was most loved.

Funeral services were held from the Apostolic church, east of town, Friday of last week and the remains were laid to rest in the cemetery at that place.
