She came to these parts with her parents, John and Catharine Gage, in 1837, and has resided in this locality ever since, with a short exception of trial life in Michigan, which proved most disastrous to her health. She was a most splendid housekeeper and florist, as many who have had reason to admire her yard of nature's beauties in their season.
