Early in her married life, she united with the Baptist Church west of Hutsonville and remained a faithful member until God called her home. A life member of the Baptist Missionary Society, her efforts have been directed toward the uplifting of her fellow beings. In her daily life was exemplified the highest type of Christian living.
Loved and revered by all who came within the sphere of her gentle influence. She is survived by four sisters, Mrs. S. C. Besse, of Altamont, Illinois, Mrs. Emmaline Kirk, Mrs. Salina Kirk and Mrs. Elizabeth Newlin, and one brother, A. S. Holmes of this county, who mourn the loss of a kind and loving sister, and a host of other relatives and friends who mourn a friend, companion and neighbor.
She has gone to her last long rest, asleep in Jesus. Obeying the command of the Angel of God, she has gone to receive the reward of the faithful, of the friend to the friendless, and the mother of the motherless.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. D. L. Clemens at the family residence six miles northwest of Robinson at ten o'clock, May 6. The remains were followed by a large concourse of relatives and friends to Mount Pleasant cemetery where they were buried beside her husband.
