In early life she dedicated herself to the work of God. For five summers she served in the colporteur field. She then labored in the Minnesota Conference for three years as Bible instructor. In 1898 she became Sabbath school secretary of the Minnesota Conference, and she continued in this office for fifteen years. She was out of conference work for several years, caring for her aged parents. However, in 1922 she again took up Sabbath school work, this time in the South Dakota Conference, where she served for three years.
