At the age of 51 years, 7 months and 11 days. At the age of 9 years she, and her parents moved to Greene County, Iowa where her girlhood and womanhood days were spent. At the age of 19 years she was converted and united with the Free Methodist church.

Besides her husband and children she leaves to mourn her death four grandchildren, five brothers and one sister, Mrs. William Andrew, Robert, Alfred, Richard Flack of Churdan, and Salathiel and Samuel of Jefferson, besides a host of friends. She was a lover of her home and family, and of children always trying to teach them the way of Eternal Life. She was a faithful teacher of Sunday School class as long as she was able to go to the house of God, always having the interest of the church at heart. Her labors of love will be greatly missed and we shall always look forward to the meeting in our Eternal Home.
