Miller of Springs, Pa.; Rosella, wife of John M. Bachman of Creston, Mont.; Goldie, wife of John Sala of Johnstown, Pa.; Margaret, wife of Calvin E. Kaufman of Johnstown, Pa.; Sanford, at the home, married to Florence Young just nine days before his mother's death; Ralph and Rena (twins) born and died in 1899. Besides the husband and children, she is survived by ten grandchildren, father, step-mother and the following brothers and sister: James Norman, missionary in India; Amos A. of South Fork Pa.; Harry B. of Johnstown, Pa; Mrs. Vinne Confer of Davidsville, Pa. She and her husband were baptized in the Stahl Church, Dec. 13, 1890. Before and after her operation for cancer, she made all her funeral arrangements and prayed that God might release her from this world. She smiled as she fell peacefully asleep. Further details of her sickness and death will be given in a separate article by the children. Funeral services were conducted in the home and in the Stahl Church by J. Irvin Lehman of Chambersburg, assisted by L. A. Blough and W. C. Hershberger. Her funeral was the largest ever held in the Stahl Church. Over 700 could not get into the church, and were counted as they passed into the building while viewing the remains. The total present is estimated between 1400 and 1600. The body was laid away in the family plot of the Stahl Cemetery. Peace to her ashes.
