When she was a child her parents moved from Lancaster Co. to Elkhart Co., Ind., and later to Emmet Co., Mich., where her father died, Feb., 1903. Her mother died in 1917. On Sept. 12, 1882, she was united in marriage to Joseph K. Dettwiler who preceded her in death, Nov. 9, 1940. To this union were born 3 sons and 2 daughters. She became a Christian when a young girl and remained faithful to the end. She was preceded in death by 2 brothers, one sister, and a son. She leaves to mourn her departure, 2 brothers (Noah Leinbach, Pellston, Mich.; Samuel Leinbach, Pigeon, Mich.), a sister (Susan Schiedel, Petoskey, Mich.), 2 sons (Noah L. Dettwiler, Denver, Colo.; Aaron Dettwiler, Petoskey, Mich.), 2 daughters (Amanda Wilson, Kingman, Alta.; Malinda Dettwiler, at home), 15 grandchildren, and 14 great-grandchildren. Mother has been failing in health for several years and has been bedfast practically all the time since January. As long as she was able she enjoyed attending church services and she appreciated when others came to sing for her. Funeral services were in charge of Bros. J. B. Stauffer and M. D. Stutzman. Texts; Psa. 28 and Rev. 14:13. Interment in cemetery near by. Friends may think the wound is healed When they see us smile; But they little know the heartache That is hidden all the while. Transcriber's note: The surname of Mrs. Dettwiler's parents is spelled Leenbach in the first line of this notice. Her brothers' surname is spelled Leinbach several lines later.
