**********************
Loucks - Catharine Loucks was born in Holmes Co, Ohio, Sept 14, 1837, and came with her parents, Jacob and Margaret Freed, to Locke Twp, Elkhart Co, Ind, in October, 1852.
She was married to Jacob Loucks Nov 26, 1854, and moved to Madison Twp, St. Joseph Co, Ind., in 1858, being one of the older settlers of that vicinity. To them were born seven children: Henry, Samantha, Mary, Andrew, Oliver, Anna and Jonas. Andrew died Aug 27, 1866. Her husband also died, Oct 23, 1893.
The deceased passed away March 7, 1907, aged 69 Y, 5 M, 23 D, leaving to mourn their loss three sons, three daughters, three brothers, three sisters, twenty-six grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren, but their loss is her gain, for she took Jesus as her Savior many years ago and united with the Old Mennonite church.
About ten days before her death she sang, "I'm going home to die no more." Funeral services were held at the Olive MH on Sunday, March 10, where a large concourse of people met to pay their last tribute of respect. The services were conducted by Martin Ramer in German from 2 Cor 5:1. and by Jacob K Bixler in English from 1 Cor 13:12, last clause.
