To all the hardy virtures she added that milk of human kindness without which no character can ever be complete. Though of late years her physical strength was somewhat abated, her intellectual vigor was not lessened, and her keen interest in the doings of the world never seemed to lag. Especially was this the case in regard to any noble work, by whomsoever undertaken, proviede only that it accomplished something for the uplifting of humanity and the cause of God, whose love had touched her heart and to whom her life was given...

If you have come to my website via Ancestry: Several years ago the genealogy giant Ancestry absorbed the genealogy websites of Rootsweb along with personal databases posted at Rootsweb's WorldConnect Project that included a large database of my own family information. I started using Rootsweb in 2000 and they gave us the capability to add, remove, and update our information at anytime and I used these options frequently to post correct and current data. Presently (2006) I am told by Ancestry that we cannot maintain our own databases, we cannot even remove them. If you find information at Ancestry with my name attached please search my website for current information, the databases posted at Ancestry contain inaccurate information. - Karen Rowe.
