when the message of her death came.
After weeks of suffering borne with
characteristic fortitude and patience.
death came suddenly. as a relief and a
day of fufiment to her who had been
faithful to the end and was ready to
depart and be with Christ.

later as an instructor there. She taught
successfully at Hustonville, Lancaster
and Richmond. Pres. Jno Augustus
Williams of Daughters College. then a
foremost educator of the state, pro-
nounced her girl of the finest mental
grasp that had ever came under his in
