Her children and neighbors remember her sweet, sunny disposition and her kind offices and cheerful life. She was always in a happy mood, and everything to her was bright. Hardly a Sabbath passed, even to her eighty-eighth year, when she did not spend an hour in singing with her family and friends the familiar music of olden time. Mr. and Mrs. Cross were both active members of the Baptist church. They were both liberal and generous to the extent of their means, and their home gave a cheerful welcome to a host of friends.
