Found her on the 1880 Milan, Dutchess, New York census (dist 44 img 18) as Christina Morehouse age 56. She is in the household of Cyrus Morehouse age 21, listed as step mother.

Found her on the 1910 Pine Plains, Dutchess, New York census (dist 59 img 17) as Christina Morehouse age 86, widow. She is in the household of Fred A. Sherwood age 31.

Christina Best, wife of the late Lyman Morehouse, died at the home of her great nephew, Fred Sherwood, about two miles west of Pine Plains, early Sunday morning, April 28 1912, aged 89 years.

Mrs. Morehouse had been ill but a few days, her illness developing into pneumonia. Mrs. Morehouse was the daughter of Jacob and Margaret Fingar Best, and was born in the town of Milan, June 5, 1823. For a number of years past she has made her home with Mr. and Mr. Sherwood.

She was a woman widely known and highly esteemed, and though for a long time she has been in comparative retirement, she is lovingly remembered, and her death, even though she had passed the alloted years of life, will be sincerely mourned. - The Pine Plains Register May 2, 1912
