A living epistle, known and read of all
who came in contact with her A friend
of all her wide acquaintanceship, who by
the power of her exemplary conduct we're
exalted to higher things, and constrained
to glorify the Father in Heaven.
Although herself childless, she was a
real and faithful mother to a large family
of nieces and nephews, who are carefully
trained in all that is best, and they, with
many Others. will rise up to call her blessed.
Having exceeded the allotted span of
human existence. ner mind and body were
active to the end. Her zeal never abated
to do good according to her ability and
opportunity, and when the end came all
was peace and joy. In perfect confidence
in that living Saviour. whom she served so
long and faithfully. she laid her down to
peaceful dreams and was not. for God took
her to Himself to dwell with the saints in
glory everlasting.
We yield unfeigned thanks to Almight y
God for the good example of this worthy
servant who now rests from her labors,
but whose works follow and will continue
until Christ shall come again in power and
majesty to judge the world in righteous
ness, and say to all who have fought the
good fight and kept the faith once deliv-
cred to the saints. Come unto me all We
