Adams county, Indiana, June 16, 1877, and died at the home of her parents in Monroe township. Adams county, Indiana. April 17. 1898, aged 20 years. 10 months and 1 day. She had been in ill health for sixteen months and for the last seventeen weeks had teen bedfast and required constant attention day and night. She knew her fate long ago, as it was consumption that led her gradually and surely to the grave, and it was before this that she expected to follow her youngest brother, William, who preceded her to the other shore about eleven months ago. She leaves with her sorrowing parents two brothers and three sisters to mourn her loss. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at the Mennonite church of which she had teen a member for four years. Rev. S. F. Sprunger preached from Psalm 28: 6-7. The last time she had teen visited by her pastor she asked him to take those verses for his text at her funeral as they had teen of special comfort and blessing to her. They read: “Blessed be the Lord, because He hath heard the voice of my supplications. The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise Him.” She had also made the selection of hymns which were sung at her request. It was due to the sickness of this daughter that Mr. Soldner has lieen unable to attend to his official duties as assessor, and the people are kindly asked to tear with him on that account. He and Mrs. Soldner are not unmindful of the many kindnesses shown them by so many during this dreadful ordeal, and their hearts go out in thankfulness to their many friends. MARKETS. CORRECTED BY J.
