She was an industrious and persevering woman; her duties of life were performed uncomplainingly. She was a loving wife and a devoted mother. To meet her was to gain a friend. Her consistent life enabled her to number her friends by her acquaintances. She professed her faith in Christ in early childhood and united with the Missionary Baptist Church in Kentucky. When her husband and family moved to Barry Co., Mo. in 1874 from Kentucky they brought their letters and united with the Prosperity Church of Rocky Comfort Mo. She was a faithful and consistent member of this church until death. Throughout her long life she bore her misfortunes and sorry with the greatest fortitude. During her illness of several weeks she was always hopeful of recovering and never complained, but bore her afflictions well. She always said that she did not fear death and that she was ready to meet her God whenever the summons came, but that she desired to live to a ripe old age, and when the end did draw near her faith in God did not waver and she departed this life in peace with a firm faith in Christ and a strong belief in a heaven of peace and tranquility in the life to come. |
