Swoveland - On the 25th of February, in Harrison township, Elkhart county, Ind, of consumption, Elizabeth, wife of Andrew Swoveland, aged 49 years, 4 months and 23 days.

Buried at Yellow Creek on the 27th. Services by Henry Shaum and Noah Metzler.

Sister Elizabeth has long been a member of the Mennonite church. During her last illness her thoughts were seemingly turned heavenward. It was her desire to have services at their house every Sunday afternoon. May this affliction leave an impression upon the family. Peace to her ashes.

O! dear mother, God has called thee,
From this earth and us away,
Up to his home beyond the skies,
To dwell with him forever aye.

O! dear mother, we do miss thee,
Since thy voice we hear no more;
But we know thou art with Jesus
Over on you blissful shore.

O, your days were full of trouble,
All your days of pain are past,
Thou art gone to that blest refuge
Safe in Jesus' home at last.
