Mrs. Whitmer had been in bad health for some time and all that loving hands could was to save her was done to no avail. She bore her suffering with great christian fortitude till Jesus said it is enough come up higher. Mrs. Whitmer has been a member of the Mennonite Church for about 20 years. She leaves to mourn her loss a husband, 3 sons and 4 daughters, George Whitmer, of Illinois, Charles and Harrison of Mathias, Mrs. Hugh Delawder of Twin Mountain, WV. Mrs. Jacob Wilt of Timberville, VA, and Mrs. G.C. Jenkins and Mrs. Sam Frye, both of Mathias and 21 grandchildren. Mrs. Whitmer was a dutiful wife, a kind mother and a kind neighbor to all that knew her. She was laid to rest in the grave yard near F.P. Delawders to await the resurrection morn Not sure If Frances was Adopted after her mom Susan Rohrbaugh(Mathias)died. On her sons Death certificate She is listed as her maiden name Delawder instead of Mathias,And on her girls Death Record it Crisman and in her marriage record her last name is Chrisman(Or was this just one of her given names)? Would she of had a short marriage prior to the one to Abraham Whitmer? Also interesting is I search high and low in 1870 for her and the only thing I seen close was this: 1870 CENSUS John Delawder 73 Jane Delawder 63 Susan Delawder 23 F Chrisman 16 Did she put Francelia Chrisman (Leaving out a last name on her marrige license)? Not sure how they have her as middle name Margaret., I know quite a few people have more than one middle name!Her Step Sisters Middle Name is Margaret I have found where they mix these two girls up alot Children: Lovila Catherine Whitmer b: 1878 George Whitmer b: 1891 Charles William Whitmer b: 1877 Harrison Franklin Whitmer b: 10 JUN 1881 Lydia A. Whitmer b: 1880 Melvina B.F. Whitmer b: 1884 Mary Jane Whitmer b: 1890 Virginia C. Whitmer b: 1898 Amanda Whitmer b: 1875 Barbara Frances Whitmer b: 1884
