- Katie Peachey Diary gives birth as June 24 - On January 14th, 1896, near Menno, Mifflin Co., Pa., Sarah, wife of John Peachey, aged 65 years, 7 months and 2 days. She leaves an aged husband, 5 sons and 2 daughters, and 18 grandchildren to mourn her loss, 4 children having preceded her to the spirit world. She was a faithful member of the Amish Mennonite church and was highly respected and loved by all who knew her, and she always had a friendly and loving word for every one she met, and we believe she lived in the fear of the Lord. She was in her usual health in the evening. All of the family were absent from the home except her husband and one daughter. At about eleven o'clock death entered and called her away. It was a great shock to the entire family, and the whole community. A loud call that we should always be prepared to meet the angel of death. Funeral services were conducted on the 17th by Joel King and Henry Stoltzfus. "God saw fit to call our mother from this world of toil and care, To her home beyond the river, and we hope to meet her there. Then farewell our dear mother, till we meet on heaven's shore; For when life's short day is ended we will meet to part no more."
