Eicher.-Amanda Mae Brenneman was born at Wellesley, Ont., June 7, 1897; died at her home near Albany, Oreg., July 22, 1939; aged 42 y. 1 m. 15 d. She moved with her parents to Nebraska in 1900 and to Oregon in 1915, where she spent the rest of her life except four years. 1921 to 1924. She lived with her husband at Archbold, Ohio, and during the school year of 1921-1922 she attended two terms at Hesston College at Hesston, Kans. She was married to S. E. Eicher Sept. 12, 1922, who with one adopted daughter (Shirley Maxine) survive her. She is also survived by her aged mother (Mary Brenneman, Albany, Oregon), three brothers (Jacob Brenneman, Tofield. Alta., M. E., and Dan H. Brenneman of Albany), two sisters (Mrs. Kate Martin and Mrs. Mary Kenagy, of Albany), besides many other relatives and friends. Although deprived of the blessing of children of her own, she was much concerned for other children, especially those who were unfortunate or deprived of happy homes. During her married life, she with her husband at different periods of time took into their home and cared for nine of these unfortunate children, besides adopting permanently the daughter who helped minister to her in her latter days. Her love for and aptness in teaching children won her a place as teacher in the Primary Department of the Mennonite Sunday school, where she served faithfully for 12 years, as long as her health permitted. Early in life she developed a weak heart condition which brought on dropsy and other complications. She suffered a great deal during the last eight years of her life, having also suffered a paralytic stroke a little more than a year ago. She was a loving and devoted wife, a faithful Christian, and loyal to her Church, she spent much of her time while she suffered on her bed in Bible reading and was always eager to have the Bible read to her and prayer offered by those who came to her bedside to offer comfort and courage. She often longed to leave this body of suffering and go home, and she passed peacefully away into the haven of rest. Funeral services were conducted at the Albany Mennonite Church by S. C. Yoder, Geo. Kauffman, and N. A. Lind, and burial in Riverside cemetery.
