The hardships and privations of early pioneer life aided her in strength and health which were only undermined by the gradual reduction of vital forces due to old age. Her physical condition was wonderful and she was able to walk long distances in her late years which would have tested the endurance of a younger person. She had the distinction of being one of the pupils to attend the opening of the first school in Portage township. Allen Cooper, of Findlay, is now the only other surviving member of that school.
