Her remains were interred at Concord cemetery last Sunday at 2 o'clock. She leaves a devoted husband and seven children and a host of friends to mourn her loss. She was a consistent member of Concord church, a true Christian and was loved by all who knew her. We have no doubt but what she is better off. Will say weep not after her, but strive to go to her."
