She was a kind mother in the home. She leaves a husband, three sons, two daughters, a mother, four brothers and two sisters to mourn her departure. They need not mourn as though they had no hope. She submitted herself into the hands of a blessed Redeemer. She endured all her sufferings with great patience, although she had a desire to get well and be with her family, but was ready to say "Thy will be done." We miss Sister Troyer, as her seat is empty in church and much more in the home. Funeral services on the 28th ult. at the Mennonite church, conducted by E.A. Mast from Matt. 24:44. A large concourse of people had gathered together, so that a number could not enter the house. After the services she was laid to rest in the Mast cemetery. Bro.
