She came to Iowa the fall of 1842, and was numbered among the early settlers in a region comparatively wild.

After a protracted illness, she passed away peacefully at Monmouth. Four children remain to mourn her loss, as well as a large number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Funeral services were conducted at Buckhorn on Sunday, Feb. 22, the pastor, E. M. Simmonds, of the M. E. church of Monmouth, officiating on behalf of the mourning friends.
