M Perkins in N. X. Evening Sun recalls Nan as a gentle refined leader in Kokuk. She heads the Sunday school with two of her own children among the scholars. When printers go on the tramp she aids at the Banner office and helps sick families in Kokuk and nearby areas. Nan is pictured as near heaven in line with the saints. Kokak, editor Kokak Banner, visits the scene.
