During her long affliction she enjoyed in her soul the deep and abounding peace of God. Her many friends were drawn to her by her living character and Christ likeness. She was a resigned christian, a bright and beloved member of her family, but her soul has gone home to its reward. Funeral services at the family home were held on Tuesday Afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. John A. Henderson, a large concourse of sympathizing friends attending. Interment in Caledonia cemetery.
