During the summer of the same year she began her work as teacher in Covington, Ga. She took two little



orphan girls to care for and rear. This resulted in the founding of an Orphan Home, where orphans and other needy children are cared for. She has reared six children and has at present twenty-two in the home. The work has grown gradually each year.
