Later in life they came to Kansas and becoming dissatisfied with her Christian experience she consecrated her life, and professed holiness near Arkansas City, 15 years ago. She was a faithful and devoted mother and during the civil war she provided for the home when Mr. Annis was in the army.

On the 16th she seemed better, but by the evening she worsened and a few days later the cold hand of death claimed her. She came to Kaw seven years ago and made many friends.
