She was of a very kind and benevolent spirit, she having spent a life of unselfish service in behalf of the community where she died, and many are the friends who join the family and relatives in mourning the death of this noble character, whose life has been an inspiration to those about her. One of the most pleasant occasions in the later days of the life of deceased was a reunion at her home Thanksgiving Day, that being her 85th birthday and which was attended by her ten living children. Funeral services were held at Barren Fork Church Sunday, conducted by Rev. J.S. Bone of Mt. Pleasant and Rev. D.R. Robertson of Mt. Olive. All her children were present. The remains were laid to rest in Barren Fork Cemetery.
