"Our dear little daughter died where she was born. Should you ever visit the Pine Wood Cemetery, in Phelps, you will find a quite beautiful valley, shaded with evergreens, where she and her Grandpa Horton are buried, and they will be no doubt among those who have a part in the first resurrection, for they were true Christians."—Letter of Mrs. J. M. Horton.
The little girl whose death is mentioned above, was a remarkable instance of early piety. She possessed a precocious intellect, which very early became deeply pervaded with the religious element soon ripening into genuine Christianity. Her death-bed scene, though she was less than six years old, was like that of a matured Christian, exhibiting a brilliant trophy of Divine grace, deeply impressive and comforting to all who witnessed it.
