P. chuich at Level Cross, and was a faithful and beloved member during her stay with them. In 1877 she was married to L. M. CaudX Six children were b rn unto them, all ot whom are living. Having moved to New Salem after her marriage, she moved her mem bership from Level Cross to Mt. Lebanon M. P. Church, at Randle. man. Here she remained until death. The word faithful, which is sometimes used inappropriately, is truly applicable o this good woman. She was faithful to her oHiga' ions t the church, faithful as a wife, faithful a a mother, in a word, faithful to (iod. She was loved bv all who knew her. Mrs. "Caudle suffered veiy givuHv for I line weeks -villi that dreaded disease, typhoid fever; yet not one time was she known to murmur or eoii, plain. Her great concern was for her children, whom she loved as a mother only can love, and her cbiif desire and piayei was t hat, they might wall; in love and truth. May her pravcrs be ansive'-ed in the- sal vation of all her clii'dreu. In lierla-t eonscious moments she w is happy in the Savior's love, and bright visions seemed riiug up be- tore the itT.
