Through all her persecuations and afflictions, she never lost sight of her duty as a wife, a
mother and a christian [sic]. To know her was to admire her. During the last few months
she made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Dr. Sympson of Edgerton. Here she became
sorely afflicted with what was supposed to be cancer of the stomach. Her suffering was
intense, yet she was very patient, and frequently mentioned Heaven and of her desire to
depart and be with her Savior. She died triumph [sic] in a living faith Aug. 21st, 1900, age
62 years, 7 months and 21 days. The funeral service was conducted by the writer at the
Baptist church, after which she was quietly laid to rest in the Mt. Zion cemetery, in the
presence of a large company of relatives and friends. "Blessed are the dead who die in the
Lord from henceforth; that they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow
them."
