Mrs. McCall was a quiet home loving woman, a devoted wife and mother, an earnest student of the scriptures as is evidenced by more than one well-worn Bible and many books on religious subjects.
In early married life she became a member of the Presbyterian Church afterwards affiliating with the Christian Union, a pioneer church in Missouri, where her membership was retained.
The life of this beloved mother is its own eulogy.
