Speas) in Kalona, Iowa, Dec. 18, 1933; aged 75 y. 15 d. On Jan. 26, 1882, she was united in marriage to Jacob C. Yotty, who preceded her in death Aug. 23, 1920. To this union were born 2 sons (Christian and Bartholomew) and 2 daughters (Elizabeth, wife of John H. Speas, and Jacobena, wife of Jacob J. Speas) all of Kalona. She lived with her family in Woodford Co., Ill., until 1914, when they moved to Fayette Co., Iowa; where they lived until 1920, when they moved to Washington Co., Iowa, where she remained until death. She accepted Christ in her youth, uniting with the Mennonite Church, and as long as her health permitted, her seat in church was seldom vacant. On Sunday, April 3, 1930, on her way to church she was stricken, since which time she has been confined to her home. About a year and a half ago it became evident that she was suffering from a cancer, which finally caused her death. She suffered a great deal during her illness, never complaining, fully resigned to the Lord's will. She leaves 4 children, 7 grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren, all of Kalona, Iowa; 2 brothers (Christian and Peter Bachman), 1 sister (Mrs. Barbara Schrock of Woodford Co., Ill.) and a host of relatives and friends. Her husband, parents and 3 brothers preceded her in death. Funeral services were held at the East Union Mennonite Church near Kalona, Dec. 19, by Bro. D. J. Fisher (Text, Heb. 9:27), after which the remains were taken to her former home in Woodford Co., Ill., where final services were held at the Roanoke Mennonite Church on Dec. 20 by Bro. Ezra Yordy.
