Her husband was made prison

In that sacrifice her hardships

78 years old, and during her long
soiourn in life, no one can truth
fully say that she was not a true
type of womanhood, and was in
possession of all those rare traits
which, combined, constitute a
lady of true worth and character.
Her life was inspiring and should

She was the last of a family of
nine children, all of whom died

us to the dust. We flourish and
fade as the leaves Of the forest,
and the flowers that bloom and
wither in a day have no Trailer
hold upon life than the mightiest
monarch that ever shook the
earth with his footsteps. We
seldom think of the great event
of death until its shadows cross
our own pathway hiding from
our eyes the faces Of those whose
living smile was the sunlight of
our existence. In the beautiful
