She had been married three times and was the mother of nine children, five of whom, four daughters and one son, survive her. Six years ago she was injured by being run over by a runaway team of horses and never fully recovered from the injury. She bore her sufferings with patience and died peacefully in the triumphs of a living faith. The funeral services were conducted in the Caledonia United Brethren church by Ex-Bishop H. T. Barnaby, assisted by the writer. … O. LASH. Newspaper unknown
