Church and lived the life of a true Christian. Mar. 2, 1873, she was married to Daniel Stalter. This union was blessed with 10 children, 6 of whom preceded her to the better world. She leaves husband, 2 sons, 2 daughters, 25 grandchildren, 2 brothers, 2 sisters and many relatives and friends. One son living in Alberta and one daughter living in Oregon were permitted to visit with her before she died.

George Summer and Bro. D. W. Slagel. Buried in the Waldo cemetery.
