There are left in bereavement two sons and five daughters. Three children predeceased her. The remaining family are Moses H. Shantz near New Dundee, Ephraim Shantz, near Haysville, Mrs. John E. Bingeman, New Hamburg, Mrs. Titus Kolb, of Kitchener, Mrs. Joseph Salzman, of Petersburg, and Mrs. Frank Miller, of Millersville, Ohio.
