She was converted about six years ago at a protracted meeting held at Alsey, by the Rev. W. E. Vaughn. Dollie was a lover of Sunday school and church work and was loved and respected by all.
A few hours before her death she talked with her father and mother and said, "if it is my time to leave this world, I am ready to go." Her wish was that she could see some of her friends. She said it was a dreary day here, but was she wanted her friends and relatives very bright and her, and that to live a Christian life that they might be able to meet her in heaven, where there is no parting. Dollie is gone but not forgotten
