in an accident, and she made her home with her sister, Kate.  When

On June 4, 1872, she was united in marriage to Solon Eastman at
Northfield, Minnesota.  To this union five children were born.

Surviving her are two sons, Amos, of San Diego, California, who
cheered his mother by a recent visit, and Derwood, who resided
nearby and whose almost daily visits were a source of comfort to
her.  There are also six grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

Mrs. Ethel Elwood, Bert and Jesse, with their father, preceded her
in death.

On January 9, 1887, during the ministry of the Rev. L.S. Cooley, she
