Tine early years of her mar rled life were passed in Camden, where she had many warmly attached friends and since her removal to Little Rock, among comparative strangers, those who knew her well could not fail to appreciate her superior intellectual en- dowments, and admire her child-ike simplicity and innocence of character. May the Judge of all the Earth, who seeth in secret and reward- eth openly, preserve her in his holy keeping.
