marriage until 1894, when they moved to Mt Vernon where they resided until forced to travel for her
health. In May last they left for Colorado.
Although not connected with any church, she was a believer in Christianity, as her faithful life and Christian
acts proved, also by expressing in her last hours of seeing the power of life, and her father and mother
beckoning her to come. She was a dutiful child, a faithful wife, and a kind mother.
The funeral services were held at the M E church south, at Rye Colorado, by the Rev J B Wood. The
remains were buried at the Rye cemetery by the side of her baby son, who preceded her by three months
to the better land.
