She was always identified with the interests of the church. During her last illness the welfare of the church and Sunday School was on her mind. She never made a loud profession, but during all these years her trust and confidence was in the living God, and she died as she lived, trusting in the merits of the Crucified Redeemer. She rests from her labors and her works will follow her. She as a Christian warrior stood, In all the armor of her God; The Spirit's sword was in her hand, Her feet with the gospel shod. In panopoly of truth complete, Salvation's helmet on her head; With righteousness a breastplate meet, And faith's broad shield before her spread. Thus strong in her Redeemer's strength, Sin, death and hell, she trampled down; And fought in good fight, and won at last, Through mercy, and eternal crown."
