TROYER. - On the 7th of January, in Walnut Creek township, Holmes county, Ohio, Elizabeth Troyer, (maiden name Miller,) aged 72 years, 11 months and 17 days. She leaves 13 children, 62 grandchildren, and 13 great grandchildren. She was twice married; first to Jacob Garber, second to Daniel Troyer, who also passed away before her. Sister Troyer had much to endure. The last two years of her life she was blind, so that she had to be led to her seat in the church, which, however, was seldom vacant till within the last few months of her life. She was a faithful member of the Amish Mennonite Church. Funeral services were held by Isaac Miller, Abraham Mast and David Bitchey from 1 Cor. 15 : 55-56 and Ephesians 5 : 1-3.

Herald of Truth - Volume XXII, Number 3 - February 1, 1885 - pages 44 and 45

According to the sexton of the Walnut Creek Mennonite Cemetery, Elizabeth is buried next to her 2nd husband, Daniel Troyer - her headstone is unreadable
