She united with the Mennonite Church in her early life and lived a consistent Christian through all the years, which numbered 81 y, 10 m, 26 d.
She was married to Joseph D Hartzler, Oct 8, 1866. This union was blessed with one daughter and four sons. The daughter died at the age of two years.
The first years of her married life were spent in Lagrange Co, Ind, after which they moved to Logan Co, Ohio, where the remainder of her life was spent.
Her unusually quiet, unassuming life impressed all with whom she came in contact, and it can well be said of her "To know her was to love her." She has left a godly heritage-a heritage more previous than gold or silver-the memory of a righteous life.
She leaves her aged companion, four sons, three daughters-in-law, eight grandchildren, one great-grandchild, two sisters, one brother and many relatives and acquaintances.
During her last sickness which was of short duration, she manifested the same loving faith in her Lord, and was ready and willing to go.
Funeral services at South Union Church, in charge of Bro. A.I. Yoder. Interment was made at the Alexander Cemetery.
"Today we are thinking, dear mother,
Of the grief that has come to our home,
How you left us in silence one day
All so lonely in sorrow in gloom."
