Zehr - Catherine Zehr, daughter of Andrew and Lena Zehr, was born near Flanagan, Ill., July 16, 1875; died April 22, 1908; aged 32 y. 9 m. 6 d. The deceased went to Iowa with her parents in 1895. About four years ago she was stricken with the dread disease, consumption. Nothing was spared to give her relief, but no relief could be obtained. She was confined to her bed for three months. While we believe life would have been sweet to the sister she was perfectly resigned to meet her Savior. She united with the Mennonite Church at the age of 16, and remained true to the end. She was always an active worker in the Sunday school and young peoples meeting, and in any services for the uplifting of humanity.
She leaves to mourn her early departure, four brothers, five sisters, parents and a host of relatives and friends. But they need not mourn as those who have no hope.
The funeral was held at the M. E. Church in Manson, Ia., where a large number of relatives and friends gathered. The sister chose her own hymn and also the text which was taken from I Cor. 15, four last verses. Services were conducted by Andrew Schrock, of Metamora, Ill., in German at the house and J. E. Hartzler of Chicago at the church. Interment in Rose Hill Cemetery.
