To this union were born 1 son and 1 daughter: George aged 2 yrs, and Lily aged 5 months. At the age of 11 years she united with the Mennonite Church of which she was a faithful member until death claimed her. At the age of 2 years she with her parents moved to Waterloo Co. , Ont. , Can. , where they resided 4 years, after which they returned to their former home near Elmdale. Here she grew to womanhood, loved and respected by all who knew her. After her marriage she moved with her husband to Caledonia, Mich. , where they resided 2 years, then moving on a farm near Logan, Mich. , where they resided 1 year. Adeline's health failing, they were obliged to leave the farm, so they moved in with Chas. Overholt (their former home) near Caledonia. Jan. 31, l915, she was moved to the home of J. O. Overholt of Grand Rapids, Mich. , for medical treatment. All that medical science and skillful nursing could do was done, but of no avail; God called her to higher service. She leaves to mourn her loss, a bereaved husband, 2 children, an aged father and mother, 1 sister and 2 brothers, and a host of friends. Funeral services were held at the Mennonite Church, Feb. 22, conducted by Bish. Miller of the Mennonite Church, assisted by E. F. Caslow of the Church of the Brethren, of Grand Rapids.
