She came to America in 1872 and located at Lowmoore, Clinton County, Iowa. he came to Battle Creek in October 1886 where she still esides at the ripe old age of 83 years. She has been living alone most of the time since the death of her husband in 1902. She is the mother of 10 children of whom seven are still living. She has always taken an active part in the work of the Presbyterian Church and is also a faithful worker for the Christian Home in Council Bluffs. She has lived in the present home for 36 years, but will move March 1 to her new home where she will be nearer to the church and town. The door of her home is never locked to anyone who wants to be a friend. If hungry he shall not be turned away. In sickness she is there to comfort and help. one of her keenest pleasures this winter has been listening to her radio.
