She was born April 11, 1885 at Lebanon, Indiana her age being 16 years 10 months and 26 days. Her life was short but nobly lived. By her lovely character and kind ways she gained the love of all who knew her. She bore her suffering patiently and never murmured. She was fully resigned to her death. Our Heavenly Father hath called her home to meet a dear little sister gone before. She leaves a mother, father, two sisters and two brothers, many relatives and a host of friends to mourn their loss. Rev. CU Stockbarger conducted the funeral services at the ME Church Saturday March 8. She was laid to rest at Indian Hill Cemetery west of New Market. The family sincerely thank the friends for their kindness during her sickness and death. -s
