Moravian Lives

to be Co=helper of the S: Srs & choir=helper of the
great girls: & tho' she had here many trials of
various kinds to go thro': yet she remained chear=
ful  cheerful & contented, & Shewed  Showed much faithfulness in
her office, & enjoyed the love & confidence of all
her Srs & g: girls.      Octr 29th 1759 she was
married to Br George Franckere, & on the 13th Novr
following she was blessed by Br Johannes as a
Deaconess of the Church of the Brethren, & then
she went with to her husband to Bedford, where they
had the care of that Congn, as they afterwards
also had of these in Bristol & London: & in 1776
they went in the same capacity to Fulneck where
they arrived March 24th, & had also the care of
the 2 Childrens Oeconomies committed to them. One
must give her the testimony, that, notwithstanding
all her faults & imperfections, she was very faithful
in all she was intrusted with, having the concerns
of her Sisters & the Children in the Oeconomy, to
whom she was a truly tender mother, very much
at heart & sparing no pains whatever in fulfilling
all that she thought to be for their good. Her
married state was blessed with 2 Sons & 3 Daugh=
=ters, of whom one son & 2 Daughters are gone to
rest before her, & one Son & one Daughter are in the
Congn. At the end of last Septr she got a violent
fever, which held her for several weeks, & then
turned to a Dropey, under which she laboured
with encreasing  increasing pains for several months; but
from the begining  beginning of her disorder it was clear in her
mind, that she shod go to our dear Savr & spoke
often of it with mel[?]dness of heart & tears of
longing for that happy time; tho' it seemed some=
=times as if she would recover. She express'd very
often in an affecting manner her Sinnerlike love
