~0bit~Mrs. Caroline Betzer, "Grandma" Betzer, as she was familiarly known, was born in Fairfield county, Ohio, in 1822, and died in her seventy-sixth year at the home of her grandson, William Betzer, near Troy Mills, Saturday morning, August 27. She attended the basket meeting at Spring Grove the Sunday before and, as usual, enjoyed it very much. She left her home in the morning, went to her grandson's, and shortly after arriving there she left the earthly scenes of this mortal life and went to her heavenly home, where sorrow and death are not known. Grandma Betzer was well and favorably known in all this country round about. She was of a sweet, happy disposition, scattering sunshine every where she went. Nothing was too hard for her to do for her children or her neighbors. Here was a liberal, free hearted soul and she delighted in making others happy. She was married in 1840 to John Betzer, to whom death came suddenly about three years ago. They came to Iowa in 1855. To them were born seven children, five of whom are now living. Four were at their mother's funeral, one son living at Clinton being unable to be present of sickness. She also leaves thirteen grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren and a host of other relatives and friends to mourn her loss. The funeral was held from the Spring Grove church Monday and was largely attended, the house being to small to accommodate more than half those in attendance. Services were conducted by Pastor Keoppel, of Troy Mills. A beautiful white floral pillow, sent by her son George, together with many wreaths and bouquets completely covered the casket, each flower speaking of a lasting friendship. Mrs. Betzer became a follower of Jesus at the age of 20 and ever after too delight in meeting and worshiping with God's children. I hear the children and loved ones saying "It is about time for grandma to come to see us again," but she will not come to our earthly homes, but this can go to her heavely home. P. Keoppel
