"A Christian Woman"
Is the highest best gift of God to Earth and here lies one of its brightest exemplifications! Christianity was with her, a sentiment deeply inwoven in all her thoughts, feelings and affections.

Though married when young, ardent and hopeful in the midday splendor of youthful hopes and aspirations, she entered upon her domestic duties with energy and devotion which could feel no decline and by the purity and vigor of her own character, she won from the most slavish passions, him whose welfare was her highest happiness and whose character was her own handiwork. Her earthly mission accomplished - she laid down her cross, took up her crown and now sweetly rests in the company of her savior.
