Those who knew her best loved her most, She had no fear of death for she was in possession of that perfect love that casteth out fear. She talked about and arranged for her funeral services as composedly as if she was going on a journey. Her example has been and is worthy of imitation and her counsels entreaties and exhortations should not be unheeded. She was was a plain, practical, unassuming christian woman and labored to have others lead the same kind of life. She said to her friends a day or two before she died, "If I recover it is all right, and if I don't recover it is all right." Just a few moments before she died she said to her son, Thomas, "Praise the Lord, I'll soon be at rest."
