For the past year her heart and soul were in the new church enterprise at Evansville, with great anticipation she looked forward to the day of dedication; but while the dedicatory prayer was being offered she was listening to the homewadd call and a few hours later she answered the summons, entering into the true tabernacle, the house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens, there to be forever with her lord.
