He was a minister of the Mennonite Church and died in Midland, Va., Dec. 5, 1897. She went through many sorrows and trials in her younger days, being deprived of her mother at the age of ten years. She was the oldest in the family of 5 children and the last one of them to leave this world. Her greatest concern was that her children, grandchildren, and all of her descendants would live such lives to meet her in the glory world. Many were the prayers she sent to the Throne of God for them. For the past thirteen years. she was confined to her home and she always appreciated the services held in the home in her behalf. During her eighty years of fellowship in the Church she acquired a large circle of friends. Her mind was clear and active until about twelve hours before her death. Services were conducted at the home by Erie E. Bontrager and at the Ferris Christian Church by Royal A. Buskirk (Text, II Tim. 4: 6-8), assisted by Erie E. Bontrager and .Joseph Sherrick.
