She was of a cheerful disposition, and reflected sunshine into other lives and joy and gladness followed in her path.

She was converted in early life, and was identified with the Baptist church until she came to Iowa, since which she has been affiliated with the Christian church,, and became with her husband, a member of the congregation in Prairie City, November 10, 1906. Since she first gave her young heart and life in consecration to her loving Lord, she has been a faithful follower of Christ, in whom she so implicitly trusted through her affections and sufferings until called from her home on earth to her home in Heaven. Her Christian lite was not fitful nor spasmodic, but constant and devoted.
