Her parents having died when she was quite young she was adopted into the family of Peter Good near St. Jacobs. She was married in Nov. 1878 to Henry Kinzie who with four sons, one daughter, and nine grandchildren are left to mourn her departure. Two sons and one daughter preceded her. Sister Kinzie was taken ill only a few weeks previous to her death. It was the first not thought to be serious, but later she underwent an operation for tumors which resulted in her death. A loved one indeed has left the home vacant, but we mourn not as those who have no hope, for her last words were expressions of peace and readiness for departure. Funeral services were conducted on July 24, at the Hagey Church by Ben Shantz and David Wismer. Burial in adjoining Cemetery.

During his sickness he frequently asked God's blessing upon his family, and with tears exhorted them to hold out faithful to the end.

    Nancy Weber, maiden name Shantz, daughter of Isaac Shantz, who came from Pennsylvania in 1808 and settled on the farm near Berlin, now in possession of Abram Wambold, was born Aug. 11th, 1817. On the 1st of March, 1836, she was married to Benjamin M. Weber, and moved on lot No. 113, between Bridgeport and Breslau, which was at that time all forest but a few acres. They were of the first settlers, and wolves and other wild beasts and Indians were plentiful. Some years afterward other Mennonite people came in, and they built a house of worship now known as Cressman's Meeting House. Here they lived and worshiped the Lord harmoniously in true unity and spirit together until Nov. 30, 1870, Benjamin Weber died. Since then she remained a widow until her life ended here to begin in glory, which took place April 8th, 1899, at the age of 81 years, 7 months and 27 days. This union was blessed with ten children, of whom only two remain. She was buried at C. Eby's M. H. on the 11th, where a large concourse of friends and relatives were present. Services by Noah Stauffer from Heb. 11: 10, followed by Jacob Woolner. She was a consistent member of the Mennonite Church.
