E. church by letter, and remained a faithful member of that body until she moved to Iowa in 1881. She neglected to draw a letter from the church in Indiana and unite with any church in this state, but she still retained that hope in Christ that she experienced at the age of fourteen, which enabled her to live through the forty years a true companion and a loving mother. Her aim was to make those around her comfortable and happy as much as possible, and to admonish the living, to arouse their ambition to higher, grander and nobler blessings than this world affords. She told her people a few days before her death that she was going to die and that she was ready for God's will to be done. She was able to talk to her friends this world was not their home and advised them to make all necessary arrangements to leave this world and enter into a better world where joys were sublime. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. M. S. Clark at the M. E. church in Woodburn, Iowa, to a large audience, after which the remains were laid to rest in the new cemetery south of town. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the entire community." She was buried at Woodburn Cemetery in Clarke, Iowa, United States.

Notes
1. Census Data: Rather than repeat the detail from a family census entry in each persons record, it has been recorded only in the Head of Household record, and only the census year and location are recorded in the family member records (with a few exceptions, like adult children living with their parents). If you are reviewing a person who is not the Head of Household, be sure to look at the Head of Household entry to see if there is additional information.
2. Name Spelling: The spelling of names in source documents is often incorrect, with the name being spelled the way the writer thought it sounded. The spelling could be different in every document. In most cases the name is reported in this document as it was written, but some gross misspellings have been corrected.
