She was a member of the Baptist church at Mt. Olive and was a noble Christian woman. She had been widowed for several years and although the responsibilities of six small children bore upon her frail shoulders, she discharged honorably the financial obligations of her deceased husband which was $500 and leaves to her children a good home unencumbered and what is of greater importance, a name that they may fondly cherish and revere in after life. After a funeral discourse by Rev. James W. Beck, she was interred at Mt. Olive cemetery on Monday. (Transcribed 9/28/02 Lynn Cunningham)
