After accepting the third angel's message she established the family altar and kept it up till the last. During her illness she was very patient. All was done for her that loving hands could do.

The funeral was held in the Baptist church at Constableville, and she was laid to rest by the side of her husband. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer. M. R. COON.
