Notes

  • On the 10th of February, in Guilford Twp., Medina county, Ohio, of lung fever, Martha, wife of Daniel Kreider, age 76 years, 1 month and 26 days. Buried on the 12th at the Guilford Church, followed by a large concourse of sympathizing friends and relatives. Deceased was confined to her bed but eight days and suffered much until about twenty minutes before she died in which time her prayer could be heard in a feeble voice in behalf of her children and aged husband. With uplifted hands she continued to pray until almost the last breath, when she quietly folded her hands on her breast and passed away. She was a faithful member of the Mennonite church for forty years, and lived an exemplary christian life, always willing to do an act of kindness towards all. We feel assured that our loss is her eternal gain. Services by Martin Leatherman assisted by Ephraim Hunsberger from 1 Cor. 15:22
