She was entirely helpless for quite a while, and lost her presence of mind to some extent, yet through all her sickness and trouble, her two daughters, Lizzie and Maggie, were faithful at mother's bedside, and did all that they could to make her life pleasant. They were faithful until she breathed her last and said it was mother. Who can fill a mother' s place?
About three years before she departed this life, she visited the home of the writer, with her daughter Addie. While in conversation upon religion, she requested me to preach her funeral. She was brought up to believe in the Lutheran faith and was very zealous in her belief, for God and his truth, up to all the light she had. her funeral was preached from Eccl. 19; 7, at the home of Bro. snd Sister Brown, to a large and sympathizing congregation. The remains were then taken to the Knight cemetery, there to rest until the dead in Christ shall rise. May we all be ready for that great day. By J. C. West
