She was buried in the Mennonite graveyard on the 17th. Funeral by Isaac Rittenhouse. Text, Luke 12:40. She was conscious up to the last. During her illness she sang three hymns, the first was "What a Friend we have in Jesus;" the second, "I am going home;" and the third, "I am nearer my home to-day." She said on one occasion that she would like to got well so she could live a Christian life. Her last prayer that could be heard by those at her bedside was, "Oh Lord, receive me in heaven; do not make it so hard for me that I must wear my life away." And she then soon passed away. May this be a loud call to the young and unconverted.
