Information from C. B. Birkebak
"This tribute to my Grandmother, Esther Allen Booth Barkuloo was inserted in the Methodist Advocate.
"Mrs. Esther Barkuloo, who recently went to her eternal home, had but little. Her pension from the Church was most inadequate. Yet she never lost her love for the Church to her dying day. Out of her widows mite, she gave to her Lord, and before passing instructed her daughter, Mrs. Birkebak, with whom she lived, to give, after her death, $25.00 to Hamline Church. May the mantle of this sweet spirit fall upon us, teaching us that we only live as we give." Amen" By....
