Wife of Isaac. This lady saw many of her children die before she did. I can't imagine what that must have been like. In 1900, she told the census taker she had 18 children, of which 10 were still living.----This was written by me, her relative, and not by those who have taken these words and put them on the internet as theirs.

Harshberger.- Elizabeth Anne (Root) Harshberger, was born Oct. 12, 1833, in Augusta Co., Va., and fell asleep in Jesus March 29, 1912, aged 79 y. 5 m. 17 d. She united in marriage with Isaac Harshberger in 1851, and in 1865 they emigrated to Livingston Co., Ill. The husband departed this life in 1894. To this union were born 9 boys and 9 girls. Ten of the children preceded her to the spirit world. Four sons, 4 daughters, 29 grandchildren, 26 great-grandchildren, and 1 sister, are left to mourn their great loss. In 1862 Mother Harshberger with her husband was converted and for 50 years has been a faithful member of the Mennonite Church. She was a kind companion, a loving mother, and a true friend to the needy. Thus another sheaf has been gathered into God's great store house above, where sin and sorrow, pain and death, can never come. Funeral services at the Cullom Mennonite Church, conducted by S. Honderich. Text, Phil. 1:21.
