Wenger--Sarah, daughter of Pre. Peter and Maria Basinger, was born in Mahoning Co, Ohio, Sept 7, 1840; departed this life at her home near Concord, Tenn, April 27, 1923; aged 82 y, 7 m, 20 d. She was married Nov 26, 1857, to Noah C Wenger of Dayton, Va, at which place they lived until Dec, 1889, when they with their family moved to Tennessee. Her husband died Nov 5, 1900. Since his death her son-in-law, daughter, Barbara, and family lived with her. Since Barbara's death (2 years ago) her only daughter faithfully helped care for the home and grandmother. During grandmother's illness since the middle of March Mrs Jesse Brenneman, Newton, Kans, and Mrs Mary Anne Lehman, Waverly, Ia, her only living children were by her bedside. She united with the Mennonite Church in early life, lived in a meek, submissive life which manifested itself all the more in her last days. She was very patient. When asked how she is, she generally replied, "Oh I don't suffer, I am not sick." A few days before she passed away her voice became very weak but she expressed her confidence in the Lord, and asked for prayer and singing as at previous times--and joined in singing. She also leaves 2 brothers, 2 sisters in Ohio, 20 grandchildren, and 26 great-grandchildren. Funeral services were held April 29, at the Concord Mennonite Church, conducted by Wm. Jennings. Text, Rev. 7:13, 14. Interment in the adjoining cemetery.
