In Kishacoquillas valley, Mifflin Co., Pa., February 21st, 1884, of the infirmities of old age, Elizabeth Hartzler, aged 91 years, 2 months and 16 days. This dear aged sister had been for a long time wishing and even yearning for the call of her Heavenly Father. During the last few days, when she felt that now the time of her departure was surely near at hand, her desire to go home increased so that she could hardly wait until the time of her deliverance should come. Thus ended a long life spent in the services of the Lord, as a devoted member of the church, a faithful wife, a Christian mother, and a good neighbor. She was born near Myerstown, Lebanon Co., Pa., in or near what is now Tulpehocken township, Berks Co., where there was, at that time, (1793), an Amish Mennonite congregation in which her father, John Beller, was a minister. When she was about thirteen years of age, her father removed to Kishacoquillas valley, where she was, in the course of six or seven years afterwards, married to Yost Hartzler, she having previously joined the church. Her husband died in 1843, when she was fifty years old, leaving her the mother of twelve children, all of them living but one, and three of them already married. With the eight children yet remaining at home she continued the family life in the old homestead for a number of years. She was a widow forty-one years. Ten of her children are yet living, and all were at the funeral, the oldest being a gray-haired man in his seventieth year. Her descendants, living and dead are twelve children, fifty-five grandchildren, and sixty-six great-grandchildren, altogether one hundred and thirty-three.
