Bio
Find A Grave contributor K K Fletcher ... Gospel Herald - Vol. XXXV, No . 34 - November 19, 1942 - pages 734,735 Schlatter. - Katie, daughter of John and Anna (Raber) Miller, was born near Trenton in Henry Co., Iowa, March 1, 1857. She had the misfortune of losing both her parents when she was a girl of about twelve years of age. How-ever, she appreciated very much the motherly concern of her older sister (Elizabeth) and her husband (Christian Kauffman) who did so much toward bringing up and keeping the family together. There were 9 in her family. She had 1 sister and 3 brothers who were older than she, and 1 sister and 3 brothers who were younger. Only 1 brother survives her. She accepted Christ as her Saviour in her youth and united with the Amish Mennonite Church. She was a devoted, loyal member, and always manifested a sincere Christian spirit. After the death of her husband, who passed away July 4, 1923, she lived alone but kept up the family devotions daily by singing her favorite hymns, reading the Bible, and prayer. Sept. 7, 1876, she was united in marriage with John Schlatter. They set up housekeeping on the farm which he had purchased just a few miles east of Trenton, Iowa. Their family consisted of 3 sons and 3 daughters. She was a kind and affectionate mother and always manifested an unassuming and quiet disposition. Nearly a year ago, on account of her frailty, she came to make her home with her youngest daughter, Emma. During this time she seemed to be gradually losing out physically. At 12:40 in the early morning of Oct. 14, 1942, she fell peace-fully asleep, aged 85 y. 7 m. 13 d. She leaves her 6 children (Lena, Mrs. Simon Gingerich, and David, Wayland, Ia.; Anna, Mrs. W. E. Yoder, Wellman, Ia.; William, Emma, Mrs. Cora Schrock, and John, Wayland, Ia.), 1 brother (Benjamin Miller, Olds, Ia.), 11 grand-children, 9 great-grandchildren, and many other relatives and friends. "Beneath our eyes she slowly faded, Growing day by day more frail, Till God in His heavenly wisdom Called her gently home." Services were in charge of Bro. Willard Liechty at the Sugar Creek Church. Interment in the adjoining cemetery.
