She was gifted with an alto voice of much power and sweetness, and solos she sang in the church services were always greatly appreciated, the last sacred song thus rendered was one that thoroughly expressed the sentiments of her soul. "The King of Love my Shepherd is, Whose goodness faileth never; I nothing lack if I am his And He is mine forever." No work for Christ in connection with His church was ever declined by her. As a daughter she was ever dutiful, and as a sister all that was affectionate and kind. To many she proved a true and trusty friend, and "Josie," as she was familiarly called, was a friend to everybody and everybody was her friend.
