Lucy was a faithful devoted christian lady and was a woman of more than
ordinary ability and loved the church ardently and truly, possessing a
gentle spirit, a loving nature and pleasing way; she was beloved by all and
her consecrated life led her to delightful labor in the Sunday School and
the social service of the church, wearied with ten weeks of suffering, at
noon of Nov. 6th she passed peacefully away to her reward all through her
period of sickness she uttered no word of complaint, but calmly gave
assurance of perfect trust and resignation. She leaves a husband and two
