She was converted when but fifteen years of age, and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which she remained a member of the primitive type. In 1827 she was married to Mr. Silas Brooks, and for fifty-six years they journeyed together, he ever proving the devoted husband and she the loving and self-sacrificing wife. Their pilgrimage commenced at Whitehall, N.Y., where they remained till 1829, then removed to Mooers, where they continued to walk hand in hand, bearing the burdens of life cheerfully together till separated by death. Her life was that of a happy hopeful Christian, helpful to others, and to her family her character and life furnished a continual stimulation to noble attainments.
