ing with her husband in regards
to the best method to finish pay
ing for their home; after their
plans had been agreed on they
retired for the night. At II
o'clock she awoke her husband
and asked him to come and hear
the beautiful singing on the other
side of the river, and gave her
husband a charge to never work
any more in the coal mines, but
to 60 and preach the gospel; she
soon expired Of heart trouble.
She was born 55 years ago in
Richmond, Va, and married Rev.
Patterson Nov. II, 1865, and they
have lived together ever since.
