From her childhood she had worked in the Baptist Church, but in 1910 she changed her membership to the M.E. Church, South, at Paintsville, working faithfully in the church until she moved to Martin seven years ago.
From that time until death her health had been failing and she was unable to do as much as she wished.Her friendly disposition and her ability to assist in time of distresswon her many friends.
Her religious sincerity was an inspiration to all those with whom she came in contact,leaving the remembrance of one who lived a short,useful life for those she loved.
