She was a faithful member of the Amish Mennonite Church, a devoted wife, a kind mother, and was beloved by all who knew her. She was buried on July 1st in the Wingard graveyard. Services in the Miller meeting house by Moses B. Miller, Jonathan Hershberger, Jonas Blouch and Samuel G. Shetler.
Mother, thou wast mild and lovely, Gentle as the summer breeze,
Pleasant as the air of evening, When it floats among the trees.
How many were the silent prayers, My mother offered up for me,
How many were the bitter cares, She felt, when none but God could see.
Oh, let me think of what she said, And of the kind advice she gave;
Oh, let me do it, as she is dead, And sleeping in her lowly grave.
Mother, thou art sweetly resting, Where thy toil and cares are o'er,
Pain and sickness, death and sorrow, Never can distress thee more.
Dear father, you are lonely now, Since she has gone and left you here,
But life for Christ and you shall be With her in eternity.
