She was converted and joined the M. E. Church, South, at the age of twelve years, and from this date to the end of her life she was a good Christian. She had a very lovely disposition; was a kind and sweet-spirited woman. She was loved and respected by all who knew her. She leaves a husband and two little girls, several relatives and a host of friends. She was sick four months and one week, during which time she suffered greatly, but did not complain, but endured it with Christian fortitude.
