She and her husband moved to Duchess in 1915, where they were the first settlers in that district. She was active in church work as long as health permitted, serving as Sunday school teacher since early life. She never complained about her suffering and manifested much patience during her long siege of illness. She suffered for the past eight years from cancer which at times gave her extreme pain. Her life was inspiring to every one around her and she always had a good word for everybody, which brought cheer and comfort to many burdened hearts. She is greatly missed by her many friends, but our loss is her gain.
Funeral services were held at the Duchess Mennonite Church July 30, 1930, in charge of Bros. Isaac Miller and N. E. Roth. Text, Rev. 14:13. Interment in Duchess Cemetery.
