She came to Texas in January, 1870. She joined the M. E. Church, South, at the age of twelve years, and endeavored to lead a useful Christian life from the date of her connection with the church militant to the time of her departure for the church triumphant. Visiting her some days prior to her death, I found her ready to take her departure for the better land. She was the mother of ten children, seven of whom are still here, but three have joined the company of the blest. She, though in feeble health, prepared dinner for the first quarterly meeting at her church, saying to her husband: "This may be the last quarterly conference I will ever attend, and I must do my part." She was ever ready to help in the Lord's work. All her children are in the way she trod, but the youngest son. He, too, must join her in the glorified circle above. We all will miss Aunt Eveline; but her time had come and she must leave us. God grant that the circle of twelve on earth may not be diminished in heaven. His grace is sufficient. W. H. CRAWFORD.
