We were often struck with her correct
memory of men & things, relating
to Missionary enterprises, especially
those connected with our own
Church, of which she was a very
consistent & attached member.
She also took her place as a teacher
in our Sunday school, & by her
prayerful & careful preparation for
her workd, succeeded in securing the
love & gratitude of her scholars to
whose hearts her memory is much
endeared by her valued instructions
in spiritual things.
She now rests from her labours, &
her works do follow her. Whatever
she did, she did unto the Lord,
& this imparted real worth to her
activity. Her memory is dear to
us.
When the Minister of Cong? saw
her on the evening of the so called
"Sisters' coming in day," she was
remarkably calm & cheerful in her
mind, & resigned to the Lord, who
had laid her on a bed of sickness,

while the other inmates of the
house, were holding their festive
meetings in the adjoining prayer
hall. For the visit hard to her
& the prayer offered up by her fed
side, she expressed her thanks in
a very cordial & lively manner.
Little did the Minister think, that
on his return from Crook, whither
duty called him away for severa
days, he should no longer be permitted
to see her among the living.
To a fellow laborer who visited her
late on Sunday evening, & who engaged
in spiritual conversation & praryer
with the dear patient, she remarked
on his enquiry, if she felt her Saviour
near, that He was her only real
comfort & true support: "for what
should I do without him now?"
And truly He was with her in her
last hour. Her own memoir tells
us, that she knew in whom she believed.
Trusting in his merits, & saved by his
bloods hedding & death, she gently fell
asleep in Jesus to be for ever with
the Lord
