Herald of Truth Obituary 12/8/1904
Beller ­ Mary Beller (nee Forney) was born in Tazewell Co., Ill., Mar. 5, 1861; died at her home near Graymont, Ill., Nov. 17, 1904; aged 43 Y., 8 M., 12 D. She had been ill for some time, suffering from pulmonary trouble, and death resulted very suddenly from a severe hemorrhage of the lungs. She was united in marriage to John Beller, Dec. 30, 1880. This was a happy union and she now leaves the husband, eleven children, her father, three sisters, two brothers and many friends to mourn her early departure. Two children preceded her to the spirit world. When fourteen years she united with the Amish Mennonite church and remained a true and faithful member unto the end. Her constant thought was for the welfare and comfort of those around her, at times quite forgetting her own cares in her interest for others. Sermon by the writer in English from 2 Tim. 4:6. These words were especially precious to her during the last few days she was with us; in German by John Smith from Rev. 21:3-7. The extent to which she had endeared herself to others was shown by the large concourse of people who gathered to sympathize with the family. Peace to her ashes. L. J. L.
