She never murmured nor complained during her long and painful sickness of ten years, but always bore her troubles with quietness and resignation. Four or five days before her death she expressed a desire to see Rev. Father Huth, of Hampshire, Illinois, and old friend of hers and the family, who, according to her wish came at once, and at her request administered the last sacrament of the church to her after which she seemed perfectly reconciled and resigned until it pleased her Heavenly Father to take her away from this vale of earthly scenes to a better land where pains are unknown and her good deeds follow her."
