One son died in infancy. She leaves three grandchildren, three brothers (Elias B. Kolb, Aaron C. Kolb, and Titus Kolb), and two adopted daughters (Mrs. Fannie Pender, and Mrs. C. D.

She remained a loyal member till her passing. She looked ahead to her entrance into heaven, and rest from a tired, and sick body. We bid her farewell and hope to meet her again in coming days.
