Wife of Samuel Hoffman.

OBIT: Margaret Catherine Nardin, youngest child of George and Frances Louise Nardin, was born at Champey, France, October 26, 1822, and died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Robert Brown, at Rushville, Ill., Dec. 20, 1911, aged 89 years, 1 month and 24 days. The Nardin family saw many hardships in France, the grandfather being imprisoned in the Bastille during the "Reign of Terror," and other members of the family having followed Napoleon to his defeat at Waterloo. To avoid further military duty her father started for Cincinnati, Ohio when Margaret was six months old, arriving at their home on her first birthday. The next fifteen years of her life were spent in Cincinnati, Ohio and Louisville, Ky., when the family emigrated to Schuyler County, Illinois, and settled at Sugar Grove, later moving to the old Nardin homestead in the western part of Woodstock Township. On October 16, 1844, deceased was married to Samuel Hoffman, to which union were born two children, Mary Margaret Smith Hoffman and George Walter Brown Hoffman. The husband enlisted in the Mexican War and died at Santa Fe, New Mexico, Oct. 14, 1847. The son died in 1881 at Girard, Kan., and at that time was editor of the Girard Herald. In 1866, the daughter was married to Robert Brown with whom Mrs. Hoffman has since made her home. There are surviving one daughter, Mrs. Robert Brown, eight grandchildren and six great grandchildren. {Samuel Hoffman} left a widow at age twenty four, with two children, the eldest two years old, and in a country that was a wilderness, it is pleasing to know the hardships she endured changed not in the least her sunny disposition or robbed her of that rare privilege of loving life and being in full sympathy with all humanity. She was true, tender and sympathetic; her ideals were well defined and of the purest type, and her whole life was always lived in exact accord therewith. She was not only a great lover of her church but of its people, and her absolute faith in "the tomorrow" was simply sublime.
