She was a daughter of John Schuh of York County, Pennsylvania, and sister to Henry Schuh, minister of the Mennonite body. They moved to Canada in 1826 and resided with Benjamin Eby, Berlin, during the summer months, then, in fall, moved on their farm, being part of lot No. 121, German Company's Tract, now possessed by Cyrus Cressman. Here they both spent their remaining days. He had the sad misfortune of being deprived of his eyesight for nineteen years. He died in April, 1838.
