She had been a Universalist more than fifty years, and was a member of the lamented Hillyer's parish during his entire pastorate in North Salem, N.Y. She trusted in her Redeemer with childlike simplicity, and in her life bore testimony to the salutary influence of our religion. The funeral was attended in the Universalist church in North Salem, where the tearful eyes and mournful faces of the people revealed the affectionate regard in which the aged saint was held." http://www.whitneygen.org/archives/extracts/phoenix/p0061-0065.html
