****************
Belt - On the 4th of June, near Waterford, Elkhart Co, Ind, of measles, Emma, wife of John L Belt, and daughter of Frederick, deceased, and Catherine Landis, aged 29 years, 11 months and 20 days.
She was the youngest of fourteen children of whom eight - four brothers and four sisters - with her aged mother, her husband and six year old son survive her.
Her disposition was of that rare quality which attracts the attention and holds the esteem of all. Since her conversion her life has proved such consecration to God, such devotion to her church, such faithfulness in worship as is seldom witnessed. The whole Christian community feels that they have lost more than a friend, and the church mourns deeply the departure of one of our noblest and most useful sisters.
Funeral services were held at Yellow Creek meeting house by Menaugh and J S Coffman.
