  • Notes 
    • Schwartzentruber.-Mary Schwartzentruber, nee Albrecht, was born in Perth Co., Ont., June 7, 1869; died near Pigeon, Mich., April 3, 1934, after a lingering illness of heart disease; aged 64 y. 9 m. 26 d. She was married to Christian B. Schwartzentruber Nov. 22, 1891. To this union were born 5 sons and 1 daughter (Emanuel, David, and Allen of this community; Harvey, who died Dec. 23, 1912; Arthur of Clarence, N. Y., and Adeline, at home). She accepted Christ as her Savior, in her youth, and was a faithful member of the Amish Mennonite Church, until death. Funeral held at Pigeon River Church April 6 by Bros. Earl Maust and M. S. Zehr. Texts, Job 34: 20; Rev. 7: 13. Buried in the adjoining cemetery.

      "Her willing hands will toil for us no more,
      Her voice is still.
      Fond hopes are shattered, hearts are sore,
      Yet, 'tis His will.
      God called dear mother home to rest,
      Away from pain and care,
      Some day, oh happy time, 'twill not be long
      We'll meet her there."
