Her husband will miss her companionship and love; her children will feel the loss of a mothers devotion and care; her brothers and sisters will miss her kindly advice and sympathy; and all near her will regret that she is no more with them here. early in life, she made a profession of her faith in christ and in 1900 became a member of the Reorganized Church of the Latter Day Saints in Millersburg.
