She was united in marriage with Benjamin Herr, Dec 15, 1877.

To this union were born 12 children, two of whom preceded her to the spirit world.

She leaves to mourn her departure 8 sons and 2 daughters, a husband, 2 brothers, 1 sister and 5 grandchildren. But there is this blessed consolation that they need not mourn as others who have no hope.

She suffered extremely from dropsy for many months. Over a year ago she declared that she had lived in sin long enough and was willing to cast her lot with the people of God and upon confession of her faith she was baptized and acknowledged as a sister in the church.

She bore her great suffering with Christian fortitude and continued faithful till death.

The mortal remains were laid away to rest in the Union Center Cemetery adjoining the Brick Church, Elkhart Co, Ind.

Services were conducted by Ezra Mullet and David Burkholder. Text, Heb 9:27. The bereaved family has the sympathy of the friends and neighbors. May God sustain them by His grace.
