Grandma united with the Methodist church when but thirteen years of age and lived a devoted, useful christian life, a christain for seventy years. Many times have we heard her say in class meeting, I am not tired of living a christian and the way grows brighter every day. Even on the day she was stricken she said I feel like praising the Lord. The funeral was conducted at Salem M.E. Church on Sunday morning Nov. 19, 1916 by Rev. Robert Smith, assisted by Rev. Jesse Finley, after which the remains were tenderly laid to rest. The family burial lot on the Copeland Homestead, a good kind mother has gone to her reward.

Oh! What is death that we should grieve or sigh? Do we know it is willed that all must die? Then when this body is torn and rack with pain It is sweet to die that we may live again.
