She had a birthright in the Quaker Church, joined the M.E. Church but was Radical U.B. in belief. Her influence was strongly against secrecy and intemperance. She led a quiet, unassuming life, but many will remember her testimony to the saving power of Jesus. Her death was triumphant, she was calling the names of loved ones as she neared the heavenly shore. Among her descendants are three U.B. Ministers, a son, daughter and grandson."
