Catherine (Branner) Driver was born near Broadway, Va., March 16, 1864; died near Versailles, Mo., July 27, 1909; aged 63 y. 4 m. 11 d. On Dec. 19, 1865, she was married to John C. Driver (now deacon in the Mt. Zion congregation, Morgan Co., Mo.) To this union were born ten children. One died in infancy; nine survive, also nine grandchildren. In April 1871, Bro. and Sister Driver moved to Morgan Co., Mo., and settled on the farm where Sister Driver died. She was a member of the Mennonite Church for about forty-one years, and was noted among other commendable qualities, for deeds of charity and helpfulness, not only among the church circle, but throughout the community as well. The end came very suddenly. She had been afflicted with heart-failure for some years. On the day before her death she was actively engaged in looking after domestic affairs and was the last to retire at night. She went to her afflicted daughter's room and here her last known words were spoken. She comforted her daughter by suggesting that they would all go to bed, and added, "In the morning we shall all feel better." We have reason to believe that this was true in her case, at least. During the night Bro. Driver was awakened by a strange noise and her heavy breathing. Not receiving a reply to his questions, he arose to get a light, but before the light was procured, Sister Driver had breathed her last. May the Lord comfort the bereaved and help all to endeavor to meet mother in the glory-world. Funeral services were conducted on Aug. 1, by D. H. Bender of Hesston, Kans., assisted by the brethren Gingerich, Harder and Bowman. Text, Rev. 14:13. Interment in the cemetery adjoining the Zion Church.
