The writer was placed in charge of her estate by the heirs and 

 an examination of her accounts showed that her fortunes had 

 dwindled almost to nothing. Her life had been spent in giving 

 and in doing for others. Her charity extended not only to the 

 unfortunate red race, but to the distressed of every race and class. 

 She never neglected an opportunity to do good and oftentimes 

 placed herself in embarrassing positions in her zeal to better the 

 condition of the unfortunate. 



Mrs Converse was a woman of remarkable personality and her 

 nature was entirely unselfish. Her friends have not ceased to 

 mourn her loss for the influence of her fine personality has imbued 

 them far too deeply to be soon forgotten.
