She moved here from Hood County, Texas, in 1897, and had gone through the
hardships of the frontier days.  She joined the M. E. Church South in
early life and ever lived a consistent christian life.  Funeral services
were held at the Church of God on Sunday afternoon, where a large crowd
gathered to pay the last respects to their friend and neighbor.  A number
of relatives were in attendance.  The services were conducted by Rev. W.
M. Cochran of Clinton.  He spoke of the beauty of a christian's life,
death, burial, resurrection, bringing in words of comfort to those who
were left because they would know where to find her because of her
beautiful Christian life.  He exhorted the unsaved to be ready when their
summons came.  The choir sang some beautiful songs.  The interment was
made in Fairlawn cemetery.
