She was laid to rest beside her children in the Pleasant Valley cemetery. After a brief funeral service at the church, conducted by Rev. Jas. H. Harvey. The floral tributes were beautiful and the songs, rendered by the Misses Nimon and Hall were sweetly consoling. Our friend is gone but not forgotten."
