Ulrich--Elizabeth A., daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth Schertz, was born near Eureka, Ill., Dec. 13, 1883; died Feb. 22, 1926; aged 42 y. 2 m. 9 d. She united with the Mennonite Church in her youth, and greatly enjoyed the blessings of the Christian life up until the time her Lord called her home. On Jan. 7, 1904, she was united in marriage with Chris Ulrich, which union was blessed with seven sons and four daughters. She greatly enjoyed her home and family and was blessed with good health until about two years ago, when she had an attack of gall bladder trouble, from which she seemingly recovered, until about three weeks ago she was again stricken. Saturday morning, Feb. 20, she underwent an operation, from which she did not recover, passing away two days later. She leaves her loving husband, and children (Ralph, Loren, Wilmer, Richard, Lorene, Reva, Mona, Robert, Marvin, Clayton and Elizabeth). Her parents preceded her in death about ten years ago. Three brothers (Henry, Andrew, and Amos Schertz) and two sisters (Mrs. John Imhoff, and Mrs. Sam Stieder) remain; also many other relatives and a host of friends. She was a devoted Christian and kind, affectionate mother. She willingly accepted the summons of her Maker, altho desiring, too, to remain with her loved ones. She was dearly loved by all who knew her, her neighbors and friends having often manifested their appreciation of her life in many ways.
"Mother, thou hast left us lonely,
Sorrow fills our hearts to-day,
But beyond this world of sorrow,
Tears will all be wiped away."
Services were held at the Roanoke Mennonite Church by Ezra B. Yordy, and C.F. Derstine. Text, I Pet. 1:3, 4.
