She at this time united in membership with the Hoffnungsau church.

In the year 1922 she moved with her family to Perryton, Texas, where she resided until the spring of 1927. Here she united with the Bethel church in 1922 and has remained a faithful member unto her end. The sister has confessed Christ, lived for Him and died for Him. Henceforth she shall receive the Crown of Life.
