Eichelberger. - Saloma Litwiller Eichelberger, daughter of Joseph and Katherine Litwiller, was born at Hopedale, Ill., Oct. 6, 1871; died Jan. 28, 1929; aged 58 y. 3 m. 22 d. On Dec. 18, 1892, she was married to Christian Eichelberger. To this union were born seven children, 4 sons and 3 daughters (Albert, Delavan, Ill.; Joseph, Emden, Ill.; Alma Birky, Delavan, Ill.; Katie Nafziger, Hopedale, Ill.; Christian, Amos and Esther at home). She leaves to mourn her departure her sorrowing companion, 7 children, 15 grandchildren, 4 brothers, 2 sisters, and a host of relatives and friends. She united with the Mennonite Church in her youth and was a faithful member until death. During all her illness she was very patient. Although all that loving hands could do, was done for her, the Lord saw best to call Mother home to where there is no more sorrow or pain. While the loss sustained by her departure is keenly felt, we are thinking of her eternal gain. The testimony she gave only a few moments before falling asleep gives us the assurance that all is well, and that if we live as God would have us to live we will meet her again in the Spirit world. Funeral services were held at the Hopedale Mennonite Church, conducted by Bros. Samuel Gerber and Benj. Springer. Text, Rom. 5:1, 2. Burial in the Mennonite cemetery near Hopedale
