Since the death of her husband, Aug. 21, 1892, she has lived with Mr. and Mrs. Marsh, who have been true children to the childless woman. For many years she has been a great sufferer, and almost helpless from rheumatism, but has endured all with a Christian fortitude remarkable for one so aged and afflicted. She was a member of the Congregational churoh. Rev. Holmes conducted her funeral at the Marsh residence Tuesday afternoon and she was buried in Oak Lawn cemetery.
