She was a good wife and mother and a pious christian, uniting herself with the Mt. Zion Baptist Church in early life, was baptized by Rev. J.G. Landrum, remained in that Church till after her marriage, after which she moved her membership with her husband to Middle Tyger, where she remained till her death. She leaves a husband and four little children and a host of friends to mourn her loss, the youngest babe only 8 weeks old. Her husband always had  family prayer and when he was absent till after bedtime, she would always read her lesson and have prayer with her children. She was taken sick suddenly and in a little time became speechless, after which she never spoke again. She departed as sweetly and quietly as a babe goes to sleep. She was attended by Dr. J.O. Vernon, who did all he could. She was buried in the cemetery at Middle Tyger. Blessed are the dead who die in the lord.
