• Notes

  HERNER.-Lydia J. Herner (maiden name Horning) was born in Franklin Co., Oho., April 30, 1855, died March 3d, 1902, aged 46 years, 10 months, 3 days. When nine years old she moved with her parents to Page Co., Ia. While yet a girl she united with the Mennonite church, to which vow she has been faithful until death. On Mar. 24th, 1891 she united in marriage with Benjamin Herner, moving with her husband to Livingston Co., Ill., near Cullom, where they lived until she died. On account of her poor health, they had retired from the farm to their home in town. This they were not permitted to enjoy very long until she was attacked with pneumonia. All human aid seemed to be of no avail, and after a sickness of twelve days she passed peacefully away to answer to the roll call. (This is an expression of one of her favorite songs, "When the Roll is Called up Yonder, I'll be there." She leaves a husband, three sisters, seven brothers and many friends to mourn their loss. Her father, mother and one sister preceded her to the spirit world. The last few years of her life she was much concerned about the welfare of the church and Sunday-school and many times lamented the fact of the church's mingling with the world, and while we still have to cope with these things here, we know our loss has been her eternal gain. The funeral services were conducted at the house by Peter Unzicker and at the church by L. J. Lehman. Sermon from Phil. 1: 21: "For to me to live is Christ and to die is gain." May all be sanctified to our good. L.
