Her parents removed to Minonk, Ill., while she was a child. This was her home until three years ago. In 1886 she was married to J.N. Baughman, and in 1892 they moved to Calhoun county, Iowa, and made their home in Center township, near the Twin lakes. She leaves a husband and a seven-year-old son, and a host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss. She was a member of the Mennonite church at Flanagan, Ill., since 1884, and died in the triumphs of the Christian faith. Her funeral was held at the Methodist church on Monday, at 2:30 P.M. Services were conducted by H.G. Pittenger, from 2 Tim. 1:10. Her remains were laid to rest in Rose Hill cemetery.
“Farewell, husband, God has called me,
Weep not for me when I’m gone.
But prepare to meet me yonder
When the Christian course is run.
Farewell, dearest little darling,
I have gone with Christ above,
Where no pain or sickness enters,
And where all is joy and love.
God saw fit to call her higher,
From this world of pain and care,
To her home beyond the river,
And we hope to meet her there."
