When 16 years of age she, came to America and made her home with her brother near Buffalo, N. Y. Later she came to Morris County, then to Elmdale.
On June 6, 1900, she was married to Clay Faris. Since her marriage her home has been a part of Elmdale. She leaves to mourn her loss, her husband, Clay Faris, and one son, Fred Faris.

When a small child she was baptized in the German Lutheran church and remained a faithful member until after her marriage when she found there was no Lutheran church in Elmdale she joined the Methodist church and has been a faithful worker both in the church and Sunday school for more than 20 years.
Mrs. Faris was a good mother and homemaker and left a host of friends. For months she knew her days were numbered. She was resigned and met death as only a Christian who believes in a resurrection.
The funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the Methodist church at Elmdale. Interment was in Prairie Grove cemetery on a lot she had selected herself.
