most loyal members of Salem Church. She was regularly at church. Her days of affliction
were from last September that she was confined to her bed. A very large congregation
attended her funeral the fourth Sunday in August. Her home was always the home of her
pastors, and they were glad to visit her home. She was resigned to the will of God which
is best of all.
