that the town has ever afforded. Her
conversational powers were rare and

company. She was a woman of the

gracious, and her home was the type
of the true Christian abode, and
many remember it, fragant with the
charms and harmonies of love and
hospitality.
She was a member of the Baptist
church and during her active days
was regular attendant and was Sec
retary of the Missionary society.
She was a very patriotic woman,
being a member of the D. of G..

director of the Music Department of
the school.
