of music, and was often heard to sing
the sweet songs of Zion. Her sickness
was of short duration, but her suffering
was intense, but she never complained.
She said nothing of dying but said when
she was we'll that she believed in being
ready when the Lord called her. She
was also q member of the Womsn's
Christian Temperance Union, had been
a member for over Is years. We shall
miss her in our union, her sweet words
Of council and her admonition. Though
she was deprived Of the privilege Of at
tending very often she was ever ready
with smile to greet us. She with her
husband came to Nebraska in January
1879, and has lived in and near Monroe
81 years. She was a kind friend and
loving mother, and will be greatly miss.
