Her daughter, Mrs. Wilson, went to her home in Calhoun Co., Ill., to assist in her care.

She arrived home Dec. 22nd and was very low. It was too late for any earthly relief and she only lived a few days. She leaves a husband and 6 children, 4 boys and 2 girls to mourn her loss. Five of the children were present when she died. A. W. Scott, her oldest son, residing in Minnesota, failed to get word and did not reach Roberts till after her death.
