Bio
Troyer. - Delilah Troyer, wife of Bishop Amos P. Troyer, was born March 20, 1857, in Lawrence Co., Pa.; departed this life July 26, 1934, at her home near Hubbard, Oreg.; aged 77 y. 4 m. 6 d. Again the ruthless hand of death has visited our community and taken beloved Mother. Her health had been failing for five years. It has been three years since Mother attended church services. She had been seriously ill since April 15 and suffered intensely. The cause of her suffering was a tumorous spleen. Though her pains and suffering were great, she endured it with Christian patience, always asking God for help and grace to bear it. Often through the many long sleepless nights she prayed and sang praises to God whom she loved and served so faithfully through her life. She was baptized and united with the Mennonite church in October, 1877. She remained faithful and loved the church of her choice. Her greatest desire was to win souls for Christ. She was married to Amos P. Troyer Jan. 1, 1878. They lived their wedded life together for 56 years. They were the happy parents of 11 children. One daughter, Mary Ella, preceded her in death. She leaves her beloved husband, 3 sons and 7 daughters to mourn her departure: Mrs. Elizabeth Hostetler, Mrs., Grace Berkey, Mrs. Ida Fisher, Mrs. Alice Yoder, Mrs. Emma Kenegy, of Hubbard; Mrs. Kate Lais of Molalla, Oreg.; Mrs. Nora Philips of Redmond, Oreg.; Ernest J. of Hoquiam, Wash.; Jess S. and Daniel D. of Hubbard; also 18 great-grandchildren, 1 brother - Levi Yoder of Canby, Oreg., and 3 sisters - Sarah A. Yoder of Portland, Mrs. Mellie Hartzler of Missouri, and Mrs. Ella Miller of Idaho, besides a host of relatives and friends. Funeral services were held at the Zion Church on July 29, conducted by Bro. N. A. Lind of Albany, Oreg. (Text, I Tim. 2:11), assisted by Fred Gingerich. Burial in the Zion Cemetery. Mother's gone from earth to live in heaven, Ever free from care and pain, But may God heal our hearts all broken, And we'll strive to meet again. Gospel Herald, August 30, 1934, pages 482,483
