At the age of eighteen she united with the church of her choice, the A. M., and lived a member of same till the final summons. She was an invalid for twenty-two years. Not being able to walk during her last sickness, she often had a desire to depart this life and be with Christ and the angels which she frequently spoke of. Funeral services were held at the South Union M. H., June 9, 1906, at 10:30, conducted by C. K. Yoder in German and J. B. Smith in English, from 2 Tim. 4:6-8. God bless the mourning friends.
