She went into the organization of the Baptist Church in the year 1884 and from that time on has been one of the most earnest workers in the church. She and her husband did a noble part in the erection of the new Baptist Church just finished at New market. She was very anxious to see the house completed but it was not finished in time for her to see it. Today the mortal body was taken to te church for the first time but the spirit had gone to the mansion of glory and dwell with the redeemed of God in that house not made with hands, eternal in the Heavens. She was truly an affectionate wife, a dear sister, a kind neighbor and an earnest Christian. She died April 14 1891, sitting in her arm chair while she bid farewell to all her loved ones gathered around her the spirit took its flight to the God who gave it!
Other refuge have I none,
Hangs my helpless soul on thee,
Leave oh leave me not alone,
Still support and comfort me.
The sermon was preached by Rev. SK Fuson, of Rockville from Revelations 14th Chapt. 13th Verse
