She was converted in early life, and soon after marriage she with her husband
joined the Society of Friends and has been a consistant useful member of the
same ever since having patiently borne several years of bodily affliction she
peacefully came down to rivers brink, and as her husband sat by holding her hand
the last lines of the beautiful stanza came vividly to him:
Jesus can make a dying bed, 
Feel soft as downy pillows,
As on his breast I lean my head, 
And breathe my life out sweetly there.

Enos Carson and Mary J. Carson were married fifty-four years, the day she was
buried the 17th of February.
