Davis. She was born in Stephentown, N.Y., September 3, 1811. She made a profession of religion at the age of 14 years, was baptized by Eld. Wm. Saterlee, and united with the branch of the Berlin church at Stephentown. She was married September 13, 1836. She maintained a consistant life as a disciple of Christ, was active in the church, and leaves the evidence that she had a heart in the enterprises of the church. When the China Mission was being started, she promptly answered the agent's call by donating the golden ornament from her person, in lieu of money not the hand at the time. She died of a lingering pulmonary disease, rejoicing at the last, and longing to depart. Her funeral was largely attended on the 29th, when the occasion was improved by a discourse from 2 Tim. 4: 6-8, "Blessed indeed are the dead who die in the Lord."
