She was born the 19th day of March 1841; plighted her vows with Mr. Stanton on Christmas day 1865; left her father's home to try the realities of her future life and moved with her husband on the Giles Adams farm; resided in Otselic with the exception of one year since.

She was ever cheerful, courteous and obliging.  Her amenities were known by all who knew her to be remarkable.  Her loving kindness and magnanimity will ever be remembered and stored away in the deep recesses of the hearts of her friends as they were manifested in all her social intercourse.

Her sister, Mrs. Serman who was so remarkable in her reasoning powers had died just four years before to a day.  Her father died two years ago last May.  A brother and sister died in their infancy.  She leaves a little daughter, while her spirit rises to meet those gone before, where no parting may ever come, where the undulations of God's glory shall rise, like the eternal hills on all sides alike, and an eternal bliss continue forever to brighten the celestial plains.
