Wife of George Kizer b. Apr. 6, 1825 North Carolina d. Jun. 13, 1865 Elmira Chemung County New York. Married 1850
Mother of:
• Hanna Kizer
• John S. Kizer
• Barbara Kizer
• Jacob Kizer
• William Kizer
• Mary Catherine Kizer
Daughter of John Fronabarger Jr (1789 in Lincoln, North Carolina - 26 Feb 1873 in Gaston County, North Carolina) and Catherine "Caty" Sellers (1790 - 30 Oct 1871 in Lincoln, North Carolina)
Obituary: In Memory: The subject of this sketch was born in Gaston County, North Carolina, August 6th, 1829. Her father was John Fronabarger. Her mother's maiden name was Catherine Sellars, both of whom were Dutch; hence our subject learned to speak the Dutch language, which language she spoke in early womanhood. At the age of 21 she married George Kizer, of Dutch blood, also, hence her children were pure Dutch. The writer's children enjoyed nothing better than to hear Grandma count and sing in Dutch, which songs she remembered to the last. She was the mother of six children, three sons and three daughters. She is survived by children, Miss Hanna, oldest daughter; John S., Mrs. J.B. (Barbara) Cunningham, and Mrs. W.R. Wilson. Two sons, Esq. Jake and Billie, her fourth and fifth children preceded her to the grave, the former some fourteen years ago. Her son and three daughters were at her bedside when the death summons came, Saturday, December 4th, 1920, at 7:30 p.m., thus ending a useful life, spanning 91 years, 3 months, and 28 days. Her husband was wounded in the Gettysburg battle and soon after died of his wounds. Thus left with a family of small children she had a weary struggle during the terrible period of reconstruction following the close of the war in the 1860's. She ruled her family with a strong but kind hand, ever seeking guidance from Him who hears the widow's moan and orphan's cry. She leaves to her four children, 22 grandchildren and 49 great grandchildren a heritage which Solomon says is rather to be chosen than silver and gold--a good name. She leaves one sister, Mrs. Catherine Senter, age 88 years, of Gravelton, Missouri. In 1870, she moved overland from North Carolina to this country, living the first year on the farm of George Dameron, east of Wildersville. The next year she bought the farm on which she lived at the time of her death. These were the only two moves she ever made. In early life, she joined the Lutheran Church in which she lived until she moved to this country. There being no church of like faith here and desiring the aid and influence of the church in the rearing of her family, she joined the Methodist Church at Olive Branch, in which she lived until the organization of the Methodist Church of Wildersville, in which she became a member and in which she lived until death. She was a woman of rare physical endurance of a strong mentality, and a kind, loving, firm, and gentle disposition. Ever ready to lend a helping hand to a neighbor, friend or acquaintance. She had no enemies, "Plodding Mike," "Meandering Peter" or "Weary Willie" was never returned. Her remains were laid to rest in the family burying ground Sunday morning after a beautiful song service by her friends and an impressive prayer by Rev. W.F. Tuten, her former pastor. A large concourse of friends and relatives were in attendance at the interment--W.R. Wilson
