She was born in South Palmyra, Macoupin county, Illinois, February 22, 1847,

a pleasant and a joyous one. There was born to them a daughter who is now married
and lives in this city, during her last illness her daughter was much comfort to her.
The deceased was an examplary citizen and neighbor, a christian woman, a member
of the Baptisit church over 20 years. She was charitable, and when in health was found
at the bedside of the sick. The Gazette sympathizes with the father and daughter in the
loss of mother and wife, and would implore them to follow her good example. Her

officiating, after with her remains were laid to rest in Girard cemetery.
