Two of the sons died in infancy, to the great sorrow of the parents.

Mrs.
Livingstone's family spoke and speak of her as a very loving mother, one who contributed to their home a remarkable element of brightness and serenity.

Active, orderly, and of thorough cleanliness, she trained her family in the same virtues, exemplifying their value in their own home.
She was a delicate little woman, with a wonderful flow of good spirits, and remarkable for the beauty of her eyes, to which those of her son David bore a strong resemblance.

She was most careful of household duties, and attentive to her children.

Her love had no crust to penetrate, but came beaming out freely like the light of the sun.
