She with her family moved to Thayer county, Nebr., in 1885 and bought the farm where she died.
She was granted a remarkably clear conversion in her young womanhood and joined the Methodist Episcopal church of which she has been a useful member for over fifty years. She was one of the original members of the Antioch M.E. church and until ill health kept her away she was a regular attendant and as a teacher in the Sunday school left her imprint on the religious life of the community.
Last January she suffered a fall resulting in fracture of the head of the femur since when she has been confined to her home but was able to be up until about a week before her death, when she was afflicted with a severe cold on her lungs from which she did not have strenght to recover.
The funeral was held on Wednesday from the Antioch church, conducted by her pastor, Rev. O. T. Moore of Ohiowa and her remains left to rest in the cemetary near the church.
She leaves a large circle of friends who mourn her loss, and extend their sympathy to the bereaved husband and children.
