She was converted when young and joined the Baptist church at New site of which she was a faithful and consistent member until she passed to her eternal home. She was married to Richmond Teel, Feb. 4, 1892, who survives her. She also leaves two sisters and brothers.

The large crowd which assembled at the New Site Church to attend the funeral and pay the last tribute of respect to the deceased told of the high esteem in which she was held in the community where she had lived so long.
