She leaves to mourn her departure a husband, two sons, two daughters and twenty-seven grandchildren, besides a hot of friends.
Funeral services were held at the Church of Christ in Salamonia, after which the remains were interred in the old ceetary in Salamonia.
"Where is the friend, who only yesterday, Spoke words of love to me?
Today I call in piteous tones for answer no sound come back to me.
Where is the daling mother, loved so fondly? Who a few days ago, Shut soulful eyes and left our hearts so broken,
Oh! Shall I ever now?
Oh, yes, for every day makes one the nearer, to that bright land so fair, Where all our loved ones greet us as we enter - The lost ones all are there.
Oh, Happy thought! comes every day the nearer, When I those friends shall see! I then shall know why I was left to sorrow, why they were called to Thee"
