While still a child she was brought to the new state of Illinois and settled at Long Creek, near Decatur.

She was teacher of a class of boys for several years in the M.E. Sunday School in Eureka. Some of these are now successful professional and business men, while other are serving in the National Army.
She was postive in her convictions, outspoken, whether it was popular or not, a patrom of the Missionary and other important work of the church, and express a readiness to go hence whenever the call should come. A good woman is gone.
