She was taken to the cemetery at Ripley when she was laid to rest amidst broken hearted and bereaved friends.  Her funeral took place from the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in Ripley by the writer, where many were seen to weep when the last look of ""Aunt Frances"" was taken, and she was borne silently away to enter those earthly courts no more.</p>
