With two sisters, she accepted the third angel's message at a tent effort conducted at Port Republic twenty-five years ago.

The funeral services, held in the Methodist Episcopal church at Port Republic, were conducted by the writer; and we laid her to rest in the family graveyard near the old homestead, trusting that when the Life-giver shall appear, she will come forth to life eternal.
