"She was unable to read or write, but she had a wonderful memory and knew many portions of the Scriptures which had been read to her. She engaged in mission work in Albany and continued in it for some time, not only in Albany but in Troy, Lansingburgh, and Sand Lake. She would do housework by day and hold religious meetings in the evenings."(from "Mother Lavender and Her Holiday Dinners" by James P. Francis)
