They soon moved to Albion, Wis., and later to West Hallock, Ill. At the later place she accepted her Saviour and became a member of the West Hallock Seventh-day Baptist church by baptism. Subsequently they lived in Sibley County, Minnesota, and at Farina, Ill. In 1878, they came to Kansas. She transferred her membership to the Nortonville Seventh-day Baptist church, of which she was a member at the time of her death. Her husband, one son and one daughter and a large circle of other relatives remain in bereavement. A loving wife and kind mother has gone to her reward. G. W. H.
