In all these she performed her duties as a faithful wife and Christian mother. Funeral services at the house by C. K. Ernest (I Cor. 15) and at the church by P. O. Oswald and Geo. Miller.

"Sister, thou hast left us lonely,
Sorrow fills our hearts today;
But beyond this world of sorrow
Tears will all be wiped away." By a sister.
