At the age of 15 she was united with the Christian Church during meetings conducted by Rev. Joe Petegrine and has ever since been a faithful follower of Christ down through the years. She was sustained and comforted by Christ through the sickness and expressed her willingness and her readiness to go to meet her maker. She was a wonderful mother, a kind, friendly neighbor, and will be sadly missed by those who love her most. Funeral services were conducted at the home Sunday afternoon at 2:30 in charge of the Christian minister from Red Oak. Interment was made in the Methodist Grove Cemetery.
