She was converted when quite young and joined The Evangelical Church of which she continued to be a faithful member until the time of her death.
She was a charter member of The Evangelical class at Fish Creek. She was the first president of the Woman's Missionary Society of that class. She was also active in the service of the Lord. Always took her children to church and for years was an efficient teacher in the Sunday School.
She died triumphant in the faith with the light of heaven upon her face.
Farewell dear mother, sweet thy rest
Weary with years and worn with pain,
Farewell till in some happy place
We shall behold thy face again.
'Tis our to miss Thee, all our years
And tender memories of thee keep
Thine in the Lord to rest and so
He giveth his beloved sleep.
Funeral services were held at Fish Creek Evangelical Church Sunday at 2 P.M. conducted by Rev. R. M. Reynolds.
