Troyer - Sarah Troyer (nee Miller) was born in Holmes Co, Ohio, Sept. 22, 1868; died near Mio, Mich, June 30, 1926; aged 57 y, 10 m, 8 d.

The end came after about ten weeks of much suffering, with influenza and rheumatism, followed by pneumonia. During her severe sufferings she often prayed the Lord to take her home, and her prayer was finally answered.

One of her favorite scripture passages was Psalm 23, which was a great consolation to her during her sickness. One of her favorite hymns was "We are going down the Valley."

She gave her heart to the Lord at the age of sixteen and at the time of her death she was a faithful member of the Mennonite Church, at Fairview. Her heart's desire and prayer was that the Church might remain true to the principles of the Gospel.

On Nov 25, 1885, she was married to Emanuel S Troyer. To this union were born twelve children, Samuel, the oldest child, died in infancy. She leaves husband, eleven children, 21 grandchildren, 4 brothers, 3 sisters, and many other relatives and friends.

The remaining children are Mary Yoder, Ammon, Emanuel, Levi, Sarah Miller, Barbara, Henry, Clara, Ora, Seth, and Fannie.

Sarah was a loving wife and mother and the wise counsel and labors of love will be greatly missed in the home and community, but our loss is her eternal gain. We humbly submit to Him who doeth all things well.

Funeral services were conducted by the home brethren, Menno Esch and M S Steiner. Text, Phil 1:21. Burial in Fairview Cemetery.
