She was one of a family of eleven children, the last to answer the Master's call, "come home".
Mother McConnaughey united with the Bethany Baptist Church of Rushtown, Ohio at the age of fifteen years, under the preaching of Rev. Davis Vance. From that time to the close of a long, useful and happy life, she strove untiringly to learn her Master's will, and to meet in his strength, the opportunities for service with which He constantly honored her, realizing that God's call as a co-worker in His Vineyard was the greatest privilege that could come to her.
She was married to Davis A. McConnaughey Sept 30th 1857. To this union were born six sons and three daughters. The husband, one son, an and one daughter, having preceded her in death. While we deeply mourn our dear mother, yet in her abundant, abiding faith and trust in God, she has left to us a priceless legacy of a beautiful life, and the Saviors' call at eventide, found her waiting and ready to go.
