Rather, it seemed a wearing out of her pow- ers of resistance, and to the last she was conscious, the end coming as peacefully as a refreshing sleep. That she had a premonition that the end was not. far off was evidencned durim: the past few months, but even her remarkable physique could not have. stayed the hand of death for so long: a period were it not for the loving rare of her daughter, Miss Jessie Derby, who was her faithful nurse during her last illness.

She was an active member of the Presbyterian church all her life and did much in the early pioneer days to further the cause of Christianity. a road excepting a blazed trail through the woods.
