"Her funeral took place during a session of the camp. The long procession consisting mostly of her own children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, formed at the house of Judge D.  M. McLure, where she died, and followed the casket, which was borne on foot to the Camp Ground. As the march began someone started the old song "We Are Traveling to the Grave." Captain Jack Mitchell, a grandson, reported that the song was taken up along the line to form a marvelous tribute to the departed matriarch of the family.
