She professed faith in Christ an an early age and united with the 1st Methodist church. There was a majesty and a nobility in her life and character that was appreciated wherever she went. She was as strong in mind and character as she was kind and sweet in nature and spirit. She was keen and quick in perception and positive and forceful in action. She knew in whom she had believed and was persuaded that He was able to keep that which she had committed unto Him against that day. In her death there has passed from us' one in whom lived all that was brightest and best in human character - a winsome personality, a nobility of mind and heart, and eager and loving spirit of helpfulness to others and an earnest and deep spirituality.
