In 1886 she was united in marriage to Mr. Samuel Cokeley. To this union five children were born. The oldest boy dying at the early age of 2 ½ years. She is survived by her husband, Samuel Cokeley, three daughters, Mrs. Nora Stone of Burlington, Mrs. Gertie Iseman of Lichveld, Nebr., Mrs. Lois Fairchild of Burlington and one son Samuel J. Cokeley, living southwest of Burlington. She also leaves to mourn her departure two brothers and 1 sister: Mrs. Nora Harreld of Spring Hill, Kans., Wm. Nelson of LeRoy and C.E. Nelson of Kansas City, Mo.
In young womanhood she accepted Christ as her redeemer and united with the United Brethren church at Crandall. Later in life she transferred her membership to the Methodist Episcopal Church at Crotty, where it remained at the time of her death.
Her unfaltering trust in Christ and her true devotion to her King, has transformed her life into one of beauty, which will live on to cheer and brighten the pathway of many others.
