She was especially fond of the following quotation, the first clause of which she often repeated, "Give me a few friends who will love me for what I am; and keep ever burning before my vagrant steps the kindly light of hope. And though age and infirmity overtake me, and I come not within sight of the castle of my dreams, teach me still to be thankful for life, and for time's olden memories that are good and sweet; and may the evening's twilight find me gentle still".
Those who cared for her during her last illness well know that she was sweet and gentle and appreciative to the end. She leaves to mourn her loss, two children, nine grand children and six great grand children besides a host of more distant relatives and friends.
"I can not say, I will not say that she is dead, she has gone away. With a friendly smile and a wave of her hand she has passed to that brighter land".
Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. from the residence of Mr. and Mrs. R.E. Reeves and burial was made at Maple Lawn cemetery.
