She leaves an affectionate husband, 6 children, one an infant, to mourn her loss. Sister Squire embraced the present truth under the teaching of Brrn. VanHorn and Lawrence, when the tent was at Ithaca, nearly 3 years ago. She has ever been willing to bear her testimony in its favor. We believe she died in full hope of a part in the first resurrection.
