She was a member of a family of 12 children, 8 of whom preceded her in death-Gabriel and Jacob Y. of Wellman; Mary, wife of Jacob Swartzendruber, and Gertrude, wife of Joel Swartzendruber, Shickley, Neb.; Isaac, Elizabeth, John Y. and Wm. Y., of Parnell. Those living are Eli Yoder of Wellman, 2 half sisters (Mrs. Ida Hershebrger of Parnell, and Mrs. G. C. Swartzendruber of Kalona); also one stepbrother (Wm. D. Brenneman of Kalona). In 1885 she was baptized by Bishop Wm. K. Miller and became a member of the Amish Mennonite Church in which faith she remained steadfast to the end. On Nov. 13, 1891, she was united in marriage to Amos C. Swartzendruber, who preceded her in death Dec. 7, 1939. To this union were born 6 children, of whom 5 are living: Omar A., and Chris R., of Parnell; Erma (wife of Frank Eash); Edward L., and Benj. J., of Wellman. One infant died Dec. 7, 1894. For a number of years prior to the marriage of Bro. and Sister Swartzendruber, David Eimen was in the home of her parents. He was now invited into this new home and remained here for a period of about 9 years, the last three of which were spent as a hired man after he became of age. She leaves the above named children, 12 grandchildren, and numerous other relatives and friends. A little over three years ago she suffered a heart attack from which a light paralytic stroke resulted. The effects of this attack soon cleared up; however, a weakened heart created a physical problem for the balance of her life. About Sept. 25 she suffered a severe heart attack, from which she never recovered. As a mother in the home, she always showed the greatest kindness for her children; as a companion, the greatest love for her husband. Her place as mother is vacant and will be greatly missed. Her readiness and anxiousness to meet her Saviour is well expressed by the following short verse of poetry which she repeated at numerous times during the last and fatal illness. "This is a lonesome home for me, In heaven I would rather be; Because my sorrow is so great. I wish to see that golden gate. O, Jesus, dear, I wish to ask; Do take me home when life is past; With Thee I long to be at home, Where pain and sorrow all are gone." Funeral services were held Oct. 12, conducted at the home by Jacob Miller and at the Upper Deer Creek church by A. S. Miller and E. G. Swartzendruber. Texts, Jno. 14; Heb. 4; Eccl. 12. Transcriber's note: "Jno." Is the abbreviation used in the obituary. Info from:
