HOLDEMAN.- On the 27th of July, near Elkhart Co., Ind., of a tumor, Lovina, maiden name Crater, wife of Tobias Holdeman, aged 31 years, 1 month and 4 days. Funeral services were held at the Shaum meeting-house. She leaves a husband and seven children to mourn the loss of a dear young mother and companion. She was also a dear sister in the Lord and bore her very severe suffering with unusual patience and resignation. We believe her sufferings are now turned into that heavenly joy for which she longed and prayed. Let the husband and children follow the good advice which she gave them in her last days.

Name is correct as Holderman on memorial stone Obituary says Holdeman

Obit spells her first name Lovina; tombstone, as Lavina

NOT SURE which one is correct on age: Tombsone says ... and three days, but obit says four days
