She was educated in the district school of Berlin township, completing her

March 14, 1891, she was united in marriage to Andrew J. Aungst.  To this union

age of 19 years, and Eva Dell Austin of Sebewa township.

She leaves to mourn their loss, her husband, one daughter, three grandchildren,

She was a devoted wife, mother, and kind neighbor, being converted and baptized

Our dear loved one who has left us,  No more we’ll see her;  But the memory of
her presence  Will linger near.
