She started a Sunday School, and a Bible Class after awhile for the lads too old for the school, who clamoured for admission to her class in it.

She visited the poor, taking help wherever she went, and sending food from her own table to the sick.

It was characteristic of her that she would never give "scraps" to the poor, but would have a basin brought in at dinner, and would cut the best slice to tempt the invalid appetite.

Money she rarely, if ever, gave, but she would find a day's work, or busy herself to seek permanent employment for any one seeking aid.

Stern in rectitude herself, and iron to the fawning or the dishonest, her influence, whether she was feared or loved, was always for good.
