In 1895 she was united in marriage to Arthur Southwick, who preceded her in deah about six years ago.

Mrs. Southwick was known to her many acquaintances as a good wellmeaning friend in need, and a true Christian, doing always what she believed was right.

During her declining years the ministries of her son and family, with also that of her sisters has been of much comfort and was appreciated.
