Christiana Godshalk Holdeman

Birth: Dec. 1, 1788 Bucks County Pennsylvania, USA Death: Mar. 11, 1864 Elkhart County Indiana, USA

Died on the 11th of March, in Elkhart County, Indiana, Christiana Holdeman, aged 76 years, 3 months, and 10 days; widow of Christian Holdeman, who died about twenty years before her.

She seemed to be stout and hearty, continuing at her work as usual until the day on which she died, and took sick but a few hours before her death. She was buried on the 14th. The funeral was largely attended by her friends. She was the mother of thirteen children; ten sons eight of whom are living, and three daughters; among whom she stayed. She had 119 grand-children, of whom eighty-six are yet living; seventy-two great-grandchildren, of whom fifty-five are yet living; making in all 204 of whom 152 are still living.

She was, no doubt, near and dear to the, going from one to the other as they needed her assistance. We have the hope that their loss is her eternal gain; and if we heed the loud call which God has made to us through her removal, and become truly reconciled to Him who gave his life for us, we may rest in the hope and promise that we shall meet her again on those bright shores, where parting is never known; for we have the hope that God, in taking her from us, has only called her home to join the angel throng and enjoy endless glory and happiness.

A funeral sermon was preached in the English and the German language. _______________
