■ Jllrs. Magdalena Chupp Fellmy was born in LaGrange county, Ind., Sept. 15, 1889. She departed this life Oct. 31, 1909, at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Moses Chupp in Rensselaer, aged 20 years, 1 month, and 16 daysWhen she was about a year old her parents moved to this county, where they have since resided. She was married to Charles Rogers, Jah. 3, 1905. He died Jan. 26, 1906, after being married but a little more than a year. On July 18, 1908, she was again united in marriage to Harry Fellmy, who still survives her. Besides her husband she leaves to mourn their loss, father and mother, two brothers, Daniel and Ora, and one sister, Miss Laura. One sister, Mrs. Katie Clifton, proceeded her in death Jan. 26, 1906Many friends and relatives will sadly miss her cheerful presence form their midst. The deceased when but a girl, about twelve years of age, united with the Free-will Baptist church at Parr, but she had no definite religious experience until Wednesday before her death, when she accepted Christ as her Sayiour. She then told those with her that she was ready to go. The funeral services were conducted Tuesday Nov. 2, from the First Baptist church of Rensselaer; interment made in Weston cemetery. She has gone to her reward. We would not call her to earth again, but we can go to her. “We loved our Mattle, dear And would have wished her stay. But God’s will be done, She shines in endless Day.”
