She was the mother of eight children, five of whom: Betty, Sallie, Lucy, Bennie, and Willie, preceded her to the grave. I became her pastor in 1867, and soon became acquainted with the family. The cheerful happy disposition which was a factor in her early womanhood: adorned her character, and gave her riper years a charm to be deceived by all. She was a model wife, loved her children and friends, and during her last illness stretched over many months. The devoted husband and children was untiring in attention. She was prepared for the change and talked freely with loved ones as to how she was to be put away, and selected the text, the 23 Psalm, for a short funeral service which was followed out as she had requested. She frequently spoke of death, told her loved ones, that she would see the loved ones gone, with Jesus just across the river. She quietly went to sleep as an infant in her mother’s arms, on Friday the 8th of January [1909] at 10 p. m. on Saturday. Her funeral was held at her home in the presents of her neighbors and friends here in Greensburg where she had spent the larger part of her life then was laid to rest in the Greensburg City Cemetery to wait the resurrection at the last days. May husband and children and grandchildren the blood washed throng after awhile.-Her Pastor D. S. Campbell -15 January 1909.
