When but a girl of twelve years of age, she emigrated with her parents to Clay City, Ill., and settled on a farm south east of Clay City and for 61 years she has not lived very far away from Clay City. The last 32 years of her life was spent at the homestead where she passed away.

She was united in marriage to E. W. Shoup May 10th, 1874 and to this union one daughter and son were born.

In early life she accepted her lord and became a member of the M. E. church south, but later transferred her membership to the U. B. church at Harmony, she has been a loyal supporter of the church.

Her husband was taken from her by death over five years ago. She has been blessed with good health except the last eight years. Her health declined very rapidly in the last three months. It was only a very few days that she was compelled to lie in bed.

She leaves to mourn her departure, two children, Mrs. Elmer Staley of Clay City, Ill., and W. E. Shoup of Illiopolis, Ill. Seven grandchildren, ten great grandchildren, two brothers, Chesney and Jay Wilkin, both near Clay City, besides a host of relatives and friends.

Farewell then, mother, sister, grandmother and sister in Christ. We hope to meet in the judgement day.
