She was faithful to these vows until the end of a long and useful life. She died December 7, 1920. She never had any children of her own, but she was motherly to all children in the community. She took one of her nephews, Brother A. Vest, when a small boy and ministered to him as her own and he in turn ministered to her and her husband in their declining years. Some of her last words as she went down to the last river were: "There are grandfather Stinson and uncle Doc(k) Blackburn. There is Brother Robert Sheffey, he is as bright as silver." Brother Sheffey had died fourteen years before at her home in the same room in which she was dying. She had one brother and three sisters who had gone on before. She leave two sisters, Mrs. Catherine Vest and Mrs. Margaret Blackburn and a host of relatives and friends to mourn her departure. She has laid down the Bible, which was her constant companion, and gone to that rest which remains to the people of God. By: W. N. Baker
