About 30 years ago she professed her faith in her Lord and united with the Baptist Church at Briscoe, but later moved her membership to Davis where she lived a consistant Chrstian until her death. She bore her suffering with patience and ever praised her Lord. Funeral services were conducted at Briscoe by Rev. J. S. Eames, assisted by Rev. J. W.
