• Notes

  She was converted and joined the M. E. church in January, 1907; under the pastorate of Rev. Earl Hoon. Later she removed her membership to the Clay City Christian church. She leaves to mourn their loss two sisters, Mrs. May Travis, and her beloved Sister Anna. Her only regret in going was leaving Anna for others to care for as she had devoted the past several years caring for her in her poor health, like she thought others could not. However, she was satisfied of a grand meeting and reunion in the otherworld, where her father, mother, brother and sisters will always be together where there will be no parting.
