This union was blessed with seven children, of whom five survive, also husband, parents, brothers and sisters. Just before her death she called her children to her bedside, and after lovingly admonishing them to live in the fear of God she bade them and her dear companion farewell. She was ready to go and was fully resigned to God's will. Buried on the 19th. Funeral services at the house and at the M. H. by Christian King, Daniel Zehr, Joseph H. King and Joseph Stuckey.
