She was an intimate friend of Mr. and Mrs. Vincent Straub, and on the death of these people she took charge of the children and acted as mother for them.
She was a most devout Catholic, attending church daily and in order to have a church near her home she gave the eighty acre farm on which the church is now located. She was a woman who had many friends and all will regret to learn of her demise.
