At the age of eighteen she was converted, and joined the Methodist Church, of which she was a faithful and working member for thirty-four years. In 1884 she accepted Bible truth as taught by the Seventh-day Adventists, and united with their church. When she came to Michigan, she transferred her membership to Battle Creek.
