shortly after united in marriage with Abraham Keen. She had until three years ago lived upon a
farm in Sweetland township, but in her advanced years she desired the conveniences of the city,
and removed to Muscatine. She was a woman thoroughly imbued with a Christian spirit and her
life was one that was lived in preparation for the end that came peaceably last night.

of 79 years, 5 months, 26 days. In 1854 she came to this city and united in marriage to Abraham

leaving one daughter. In December, 1859, she again united in marriage to William H. Roy, who
preceded her in death, leaving four children.
