Early in life she united with the Mennonite Church and was a faithful member until death, always having a desire to worship with the believers when she was able. Mother's great concern was the salvation of her family. She lived to see all her children, and many of her grandchildren, in the fold of Christ. Although she suffered much the past two years from the loss of her eyesight and also in a fall, breaking her hip, yet through it all she manifested great patience and was fully resigned to the will of God whom she loved and served to the end. Funeral services were held at the home and at the Mennonite Church conducted by Bro. P. O. Oswald of the home congregation and Bro. P. R. Kennel of Shickley,Nebr. Interment was made in the Beemer Cemetery.
