Suggested edit: On the 11th of Feb., in Fairfield Co., Ohio, of old age, Anna, widow of Pre. David Zook, deceased, who was, for many years, a bishop in the church, in Fairfield Co. The maiden name of the deceased was Lantz. She reached the advanced age of 90 years and 10 days. She was buried on the 14th. Funeral services were conducted by J. K. Yoder, of Wayne Co., Ohio, from 2 Tim. 4:1-8, in German, and by Jacob Good in English. The deceased was a member of the Omish Mennonite church. She always bore a good reputation and was beloved by everyone, and although she attained a great age, her memory was good to the last. Her hope was set upon Jesus alone; she spent her time in reading until within the last six months of her life, when her sight became so dim that she could no longer see to read. Yet she was satisfied with her lot, and often said she would willingly suffer all that her heavenly father saw fit to afflict her with, that she might be fully prepared for eternity. She often sang the German hymn, " Was mich auf dieser Welt betruebt," etc.
