Her health was not good, having throat and lung trouble, in 1884 she went to California for her health. The cllimate of that state improved her and she made several visits back to Kansas. She was an accomplished young lady and corresponded for this paper, writing several interesting letters from California. Just before she left for California she was converted in a series of meetings held in Morrowville in the Christian church, conducted by S.F. NESBIT. She died in the faith of a Christian. Two weeks before her death she sent for her father who left immediately for California, to find she was very ill of typhoid fever. We learn the fever was broken and that death was the result of grip.
