The deceased was born near Princeton, Indiana May 29, 1850 at the farm of her parents, James and Mary VanZandt and was the youngest of seven children. Miss Sue L.

Mrs. Leister professed full faith in Christ early in life and was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church nearly all the days of her earthly career and was an acceptable member of said church in Rogers at the time of her demise. Her daily walk and life before her family and friends, ever above reproach, won and retained to her undying love of her own and the highest respect of others.
