would't apply this pressent Peryod of Grace, wherein so
many marred & spoiled Siners, have Mercy & for
giveness received, for her Heart to? This Pressed her so
that she could't sleep Day & Night. She rose in the Night
went in a Stable & weep'd & prayed for Grace, & our dear
Friend of Siners did't athone her but bestowed Grace $
Absolution upon her, & from this very Hour her Heart
was happy and chearfull. This Particular that our Saviour
bestowed Grace on her in a Stable, made such a Impression
in her HEart of our Saviours descending so deep, & of his
so low Birth, that she never could forget it. She became
now a true Help to her Husband in all of his Oeconomie-
Services as well in Ebersdorf, Barby, Dobeln, & Monplisir.
She came to the participation of all the 
Blessed Mysteries in the Congregation, & enjoyed all with
a humble & sinnerlike Heart, because she took her-
self for very little. As her dear Husband departed 1757
in Aug, She speedily set out for Hhuth in her Choir-
House & enjoyed it till in fall 1758. There she was employd
in the Children Kitchin in the Cathrinenhof, which She
did very Joyfull & willingly till 1761. But as her Choir moved 
into their new Choir-House, the call'd her again, to the
very same Business, but as her Strength began to decrease
She came to Cathrinenhof again, here She always did with 
all pleasure what was in her Power, & declared that she
would serve the Children as long as She could stir.

This she really did beyond her Strengtht & hid her
weak condition as long as she possible could. Some
years since a hard Cough sized upon her & at last
a swelling of her Feet took place, that She must be
remembered to leave of her Work & give herself rest.
This her Sabbath She enjoy'd with such a still &
chearfull Contentment that she was a Pleasure
to every Body. Her Choir-Labourer very often came
from Hhuth to see her & was allways found in a 
mild & happy Disposition of Soul & Mind.
For all the Attention towards her, She very thank
full. Several times she caused that her Son who is in
the Single Brrn House in Hhuth might be called, &
the last Sunday She gave him her motherly Blessing.
She employed the whole Time of Her Sickness in 
the Conversation wth them. She went in her rest the
17th of May in the Morning at Two a Clock under
them Words: Seine Augen, Seinen Mund, Den Leib
Für dich verwundt,den geht du jezu shauen!

In the 82 year of her Age.
