was b. Oct. 7, 1792, in Monahan, Ireland. She was a member of
the Baptist church, and was a Christian whose every thought and
word was in harmony with her profession. She moved to Rome, Ga.,
when it was a very small village, and she was the first to organize a
Baptist congregation in the place, which has grown to be a large and
wealthy church, a fine new building has been erected within the last
few years on the beautiful site she originally selected for the first
edifice. " She was a woman of much character, beautiful in her
younger years, tall, with brown curly hair, blue eyes, and a foot fit
for a fairy." The testimony of Hon. Alexander H. Stevens, who
knew her well, was that " she had more good common sense than any
woman I ever met." The last few years of her life were sad, with
much sickness and sorrow, which she bore with great Christian forti-
tude and with never a word of complaint. She d. on her birthday,
Oct. 28, 1868. Mr. McEntee d. in the spring of 1884.
