Blough - On the 7th of Dec., 1905, near Vistula, Elkhart Co., Ind., Sister Christiana, wife of Joseph P. Blough; aged 65 Y., 4 M., 26 D. Her maiden name was Stayrock. She was born in Mifflin Co., Pa., and was a faithful member of the Amish Mennonite church since her girlhood. She was married to her surviving husband, Jan. 31, 1860. She was the mother of three sons and seven daughters. She was a devoted Christian, a kind and loving wife and mother and enjoyed a wide circle of friends and relatives, who, besides her husband and children, mourn her death, but we all have the assurance that we need not mourn as those
who have no hope, and that our loss is her eternal gain. Her remains were consigned to the keeping of Mother Earth at the Pleasant Valley (Dunkard) M. H. A large concourse of sorrowing friends and neighbors followed her to the last resting place on the 10th, where services were conducted by Bish. D. D. Johns, from Isa. 12:2, assisted by Jacob Fike. Peace to her soul.
