Dec. 27, 1898, aged 24 years, 9 months and 29 days. She was married to James Cranor November 13th 1890. Four children have been the
fruit of this union, two boys and two girls, the boys having preceeded her to the better world. She leaves a husband, two darling little girls,
three sisters and three brothers and a host of friends to mourn their loss, but their loss is her gain. Throughout a long seige of that fell
destroyer, consumption, she expressed herself as ready to go whenever the Lord saw fit to call her. She never joined church, but was a firm
believer in the Christian (Newlites) Church.

A loving hand so glad to greet
And warmly clasp my own
Your welcome I no more hall meet
While time and I are known.

Oh tender hands whose magic touch
Could soothe the keenest pain
Earth holds for me no solace such
Nor ever will again.

Oh helpful hands so prompt to cheer
And banish trouble far
You made for me a Heaven here
But now tis where you are.

Oh open hand so free to share
Oh weary hands to rest
Now folded in eternal prayer
Upon your peaceful breast
(Written in her own hand)
