At the age of seventeen she was converted and united with the church of the United Brethren in Christ. For more than three score years she remained a faithful member of the church. Amid the toils and cares of life she was sustained and blessed of God, who knoweth those who trust Him. From 1862 to 1865 while father was doing service for his country she was at home caring for the little ones and was as true a soldier as those that wore the blue. In her long affliction she was patient only awaiting the Master's call “It is enough, come up higher.” She was anxious to go home. Her life is spent, her race is run. Let us cherish her sweet memory and emulate her goodness and virtues. The home is so lonely since mother is gone, but we trust our loss is her eternal gain. Farewell dearest mother.
Her children wish to thank her friends and neighbors for their kind assistance during the affliction and death of their mother.
