Wenger. - Hannah, widow of Jacob Wenger (who preceded her in death nearly forty years ago) was born near Edom, Va., April 9, 1834; died May 13, 1919; aged 85 y. 1 m. 4 d. About a year ago she had a stroke of paralysis which intensified the infirmities of body and mind and from which she never recovered. Her descendants number 108 souls (99 of whom are living), there being 11 children, 73 grandchildren, and 24 great-grandchildren. With but few exceptions, those of accountable years have accepted Christ as their Savior. Fifty are members of the Mennonite Church, in which she was a member for some sixty years. Her long and faithful service, we believe, has won for her a crown of glory. As we look back over the flight of many years and picture mother with the responsibility of a large family, especially after father's death, we recall so vividly the many tears and sleepless nights of grave concern for us all, the desire that we keep good company, the counsels against wrongs of every kind, the encouragement to read the Bible, and kindred books, and the anxiety to have us accept Christ and unite with the church. We often heard her say, "After we have been in heaven ten thousand years we have no less days to sing God's praise, than when we first begun." Her body was removed from Denbigh, Va., where she had her home with her youngest daughter, Mrs. George R. Brunk, to the Lindale burying ground near Edom, Va., where services and interment took place on the 16th. Daniel Shank conducted the service at the home, and Lewis Shank and A. P. Heatwole at the church near the place of burial.
