was one of the birth and not of the
death of this noble woman, as all
born and the whole town and all
whom she had come in contact with
had been benefited by her influence.

tribute to her as a woman, a mother,
a friend and as Christian. He said
she was a grand, good woman and
spoke of her untiring labors in the
Baptist church of this city, where she
was a devoted lifelong member, and
the mission society which bears her
name; of her work for the Children
