In the year 1800 she removed with her parents to Butler county, Ohio where she remained till 1817. She was married in 1816 and in 1817 she removed with her husband to Vigo county Ind. In 1823 they removed to this county and settled on a farm a few miles east of this city. Mrs. Lee united with the Old School Baptist church in Ohio, in 1816 and was one of the few Baptists that organized the Sugarcreek church, the first Baptist church organized in this county, and of which she remained a member until the day of her death. The funeral services took place Monday from the Old School Baptist church on Walnut street and were conducted by Elder Southard, assisted by Elder M.M. Vancleave.
