On the evening previous to her death she had been smoking her pipe and after laying it aside, request that her burial clothes be brought out, she having had them prepared some 15 years previous. On being asked by members of the family if she did not feel well, she replied that she did, but that she wanted to see the clothes once more before she died. They were placed before her, and after looking them over she pronounced them all right, and they were put away. In less than twenty-four hours she was dead.
