Werz - On the 10th of July, 1893, in Johnson Co, Iowa, after four days of severe suffering of inflammation of the bowels, sister Helena Gingerich, widow of Bro William Werz, deceased, aged 72 years, 9 months and 20 days.
With her husband and family and several other Amish Mennonite families, she came to Johnson Co, in 1845. They bought the farm on which she has since lived and is now buried. They lived here for six years without the privilege of an organized congregation.
More members of the same faith following the pioneers in 1851, a church was organized, of which she was a faithful member until death.
In April, 1892, she had a severe attack of sickness, from which she however recovered, and for nearly a year she enjoyed moderate health. After a few days of severe suffering in her last sickness she fell into a kind of stupor from which she seldom awoke, and at last she passed away. Her many words of admonition and advice will not soon be forgotten.
Buried on the 12th in the family grave-yard. Funeral services in the Lower Deer Creek meeting-house by John Gunden and Chr J Miller, from 2 Cor. 5:1-10.
