Catherine M Peachey

- In East Menno Twp., Mifflin Co., Pa., on Sunday evening the 24th of January, 1897, at the home of her husband, the life current of Sister Katie Z., wife of Moses Peachey ebbed away, aged 25 years, 3 months and 7 days. The deceased was the daughter of Abram Z. Peachey and was well known and highly respected in this community. She was a member of the Amish Mennonite church and had so ordered her life that when death came, while she was yet in the early summer of life, she was prepared. The deceased had been confined to her room for some weeks, suffering of lung and heart trouble, which finally caused her death. Medical skill and careful nursing both failed to bring to her her wanted health. She waited patiently and without murmuring, and peacefully passed away on the evening above stated. By her death a father, mother and two brothers, husband and child have lost a dutiful daughter, a kind sister, a loving wife and mother. The funeral services were held at her former home on the 27th of January at 10 A.M. Her remains were interred in the Mennonite cemetery. Services by Benj. Hartzler, assisted by S.W. Peachey. The Lord comfort the sorrowing ones. She was married three years ago on last Christmas to her sorrowing husband. God's ways are not our ways.
