She died at the home of her daughter, Ella, in Haviland, Kansas, March 28, 1917, her husband having preceded her six years ago. She leaves one only brother, Josiah Dillon, who now resides in Oklahoma. Three weeks before passing away she gave clear evidence of having received, through the sanctifying power of the Holy ghost, the second definite work of grace, subsequent to conversion, and expressed her desire to have her testimony given as to the new found joy in the abiding presence of the blessed Holy Ghost. Some would desire to call this experience dying grace, but those who have realized its effect in their hearts and lives love to term it, living grace. During the last score of her days her theme was blessing and praising God and petitioning Him for those she remembered.
