She united with the Mennonite Church in early life, remaining a faithful, consistent member until death. Nov. 27, 1879, she was united in marriage with J. B.

Paul), Henry, Ivan, Elam, and Melvin, Scottdale, Pa.; Chris R., Montgomery, W. Va.; Albert, Ephrata, Pa.; Loyd, Alverton, Pa.; also 31 grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren, 2 brothers (C.

The family lived in Lititz, Pa., until about twenty years ago, when they moved to Scottdale, Pa., which has since been their home. Sister Hernley had a record for faithful Christian service from the time she gave her heart to the Lord many years ago, taking an active part in all the activities of the Church and lending a helping hand wherever there was opportunity. She will be greatly missed in home, community, and Church. She had been in delicate health the past few years, afflicted with heart trouble, but was able to attend the morning and evening services at the church the day before she died. Funeral services were held Jan. 6 at her late home and at the Scottdale Mennonite Church, conducted by the home ministers. Burial in Scottdale Cemetery."
