Died in Newcastle township, Fulton county, Indiana, April 24, 1881, after a lingering illness, Mrs. Anna D. PERSCHBACHER, aged 78 years, 9 months and 23 days.
Deceased was born in Schaefheim, Grand Duchy of Hesse, July 1, 1802 (or 1803?). She was baptized in her infancy, and, at the age of 14, confirmed a member of the Lutheran church. Was married to John O. PERSCHBACHER, April 23, 1825. This marriage was blessed with nine children, eight sons, and one daughter, (Four sons, together with the husband and father, have preceded her to the other world.) The family set sail for America April 19, 1833, arriving at Baltimore July 1, 1833. Soon after their course was directed westward, stopping a short time in Pennsylvania, but eventually making their home in Indiana. The family accordingly located in Newcastle township, this county, perhaps as early as 1847, and since then have been continuous residents of this State. The deceased throughout her entire life remained steadfast to her Christian profession; she, knowing the truth which made her free, continued in the truth, constantly evidencing that to her to live was Christ; believeing that the bitterness of the cup was taken away when Jesus drank the wormwood and the gall. Not only this, but that the grave lost its power when the reading rocks said the quaking earth proclaimed the entrance into the dreary abode of Him who said, "I am the resurrection and the life." This is, instead, a proper frame of mind in which to meet death, and without this, confidence no immortal and accountable being can reasonably claim exemption from the fear of the grave.
The deceased was buried from St. Paul's Lutheran church, near her late residence, on the 25th instant, her remains being followed to the grave by a large number of sorrowing relatives and friends.
