She will be remembered by those who knew her best as a person who at all times, under all circumstances, walked the well beaten path of righteousness, and, when fully conscious that she was nearing the last of earth, she appeared to be fully impressed with the idea that at the end of time eternity began, and that the bright faith which sustained her during those trying hours of suffering would only grow brighter and brighter as she journeyed toward the infinite.
