She lived in wedlock forty-two years and was the mother of eight sons and three daughters. Five children preceded her to the spirit world. She suffered much but bore it all with Christian fortitude and longed to depart and be with Christ, which is far better. Funeral services by D.J. Johns of Goshen, Ind., assisted by Daniel Roth and Jacob Ringenberg.
