! have been told many other anecdotes Of this
woman, but will let these few suffice. She died In
1873 without making any rccantation. Whatever
may have been her idosyncrasies, we must ac-
that she was woman of wonderful !
natural abilities great acuteness Of mind, with an
executive ability that would have honored any |
:aliing. Her people were sober, industrious and |
moral community, attending to their own affairs |
md devoted to their leader. / believe there are
,nt few Of them now living, and none in the neigh
'orhood OF her house, which stands on an em1nence
overlooking kcnka Lake and the Brook kedrou, IN
