Shetler of Kalona, Iowa, Nov. 19, 1895. This union was not blessed with any children of their own, but adopted into their home a son (Frank) of Rock Island, Ill., who with his companion and 3 children mourn the loss of a devoted Christian mother. She accepted Christ in her youth and united with the Mennonite Church where she was an active and faithful member until death, always taking an active part in the work of the Church and Sunday school, where she was a teacher for 40 years. When the Iowa City Mission was opened she was a teacher for 2 years. It can be truly said of her, "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them." On Jan. 23, 1937, she was stricken with paralysis, which left her an invalid confined to her bed. She practically lost the use of her speech, but retained the use of her senses, and was able to make herself understood by those who cared for her. She enjoyed very much the many friends who called on her during her illness, but the one thing that she most appreciated and always called for was the reading of the Bible and prayer. Her death is mourned by her husband, their adopted son and family, 3 sisters (Mrs. M. S. Ropp, of Kalona, Mrs. S. S. Troyer of Homesville, Ohio, and Fannie of Wayland), 4 brothers (Daniel, Peter, and Joseph of Kalona and David of Wellman, Iowa) and a host of relatives and friends. Funeral services were held at the East Union Mennonite Church with burial in the East Union Cemetery, conducted by D. J. Fisher and Ed Shetler.
