She fell asleep on the morning of August 12, 1920, a little more than ten and one-half year after her husband passed away. Funeral services were held from the late home at one p. m., Sunday, August 15, 1920, conducted by her pastor, C. B. Loofbourrow, and the body was laid to rest in the Walworth cemetery. Her five living children, eighteen grandchildren, thirteen great-grandchildren, three brothers and many other relatives and friends remain to feel the loneliness caused by her departure.
