Her greatest delight was herself to join in the service of the church, and to be doing and giving to promote its welfare

The death reported was that of Miss Lucy Thorp, aged 80 years. The honor, reverence and love of the congregation of Goshen, and that of Stovall also, may be said to have centered at the ancestral home, where she presided, living alone for some years. Her delight was in receiving those who had worshipped in the church, and especially the bishop and his clergy, with gracious welcome and hospitable entertainment. Her greatest delight was herself to join in the service of the church, and to be doing and giving to promote its welfare. It was her chief care in life and in death.
