At the age of thirteen she united with the Eel River, Allen county, Baptist i church of which she remained a member until abtut a year ago, when, having moved to Fort Wayne she took a letter to | the First Baptist church of that city.

She completed her education at I Columbia City, Ind., and for eight years she taught in the public schools. Las. spring she had a spell of sickness, I ' but becoming some better she came on a visit to her sister, about six weeks ago she was taken worse and continued so until Tuesiay morning Octobober 15th at about i four o’clock when she fell asleep in Jesus.

Sorrowful hearts, a lonei ly home, a vacant chair is a portion of ! those who are left behind, but for the dear daughter anti sister who has gone is heaven and joy eternal.
