    • Obit: Gospel Herald, June 1, 1894:

      "On the 5th of May 1894, in Livingston Co., Ill., sister Elisabeth Forney, wife of John Forney, aged 62 y., 1 m., 21 d. Sister Forney was born near St. Dietel [St. Die], Vosges, France. Of her 9 children, 3 have preceded her. She received all the care and attention during her long sickness that a loving husband and affectionate children could bestow. At times her sufferings were so great that she became delirious. She was very patient and awaited the end with Christian fortitude. She was a faithful sister in the Amish Mennonite denomination. Besides her husband and six children she leaves a number of grandchildren. Her remains were buried on the 7th in the Pike Twp. graveyard, followed thither by many friends. Funeral services by Chr. Zimmerman, Daniel Orendorf, Joseph Zehr and John P. Schmitt from 2 Cor. 5 and Heb. 4:11. [1]
