Even when the shadow of death was hovering over her, she expressed the hope of being able soon to go and minister to her mother, who is lying ill at this time, and with her aged husband mourn at home the loss of their only daughter.

Her early religious training was in the Episcopal church and she never ceased to love its beautiful ceremonies and ritualistic services. She united with the M. E. church at Stockville in 1896 and has been a consistent devoted member. In her religious life she was quiet and undemonstrative, but manifested a Christlike spirit in her every day condut. Tho’ clinging to life with marvelous courage and will power, went forth to meet her God with the calm trust of a soul at perfect peace.
