At the age of 8 years she came to Canada and lived in Kitchener, Ont. At 15 years of age she was converted and united with the Mennonite Church, to which faith she was true and lived a consistent Christian life until death. On Aug. 16, 1898, she was united in marriage to henry M. Eby of Kitchener, Ont., to which union were born 6 children, of whom 5 remain (Norman, Stratford, Ont.; Alice, at home; Menlo, Water Valley, Alta.; Alvin, Turner Valley, Alta.; and Walter, at home). She also leaves 8 grandchildren, 1 sister, and 1 brother. After a short service at the house, the funeral was conducted at the West Zion Mennonite Church near Carstairs, in charge of the pastor, Bro. Harder. The sermon was preached by Bro. Allan Good of Portland, Ore., assisted by Bro. Miller. A large number of people gathered to pay their last tribute of respect to one who for years lived in the community. By her kindly and cheerful disposition and generosity to those in need, she won many friends. But the Lord has taken her and all realize our loss is her eternal gain.
