She soon had to give up and my brother Daniel fetched her home to die. We two brothers owe much to her tender loving teaching, and example. For years I went to look at the little house in Denman St., where a true and loving sister had often spoke words of wisdom, caution and kindness to me. Her influence tended to promote intelligent devout piety in us younger members of the family, and indeed in all with whom she came in contact.
