Hershberger was born in Somerset Co., Pa., April 6, 1853; died at his home near Kalona, Iowa, April 21, 1940; aged 85 y. 15 d. He was the son of Daniel and Sarah (Gnagy) Hershberger and the last of a family of 11 children. All died in the East, except Jonas, who died in Iowa at the age of 25 years, and is buried in the Lower Deer Creek Cemetery. In 1877 he moved to Iowa, where he spent the remainder of his life (with the exception of several years spent in Kansas, California, and Oregon). On Feb. 22, 1891, he was united in marriage to Magdalena Miller. To this union were born 8 children (Ada, wife of Ira Nissley; Lena, wife of Lewis Ropp; Anna, wife of Jesse Shetler; Ruth, at home; Edwin, Daniel, Joseph, all of Kalona); also 42 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. Barbara E. died at the age of 7 months. Bro. Hershberger was baptized into the Amish Mennonite Church in his youth and was a faithful member until death. He lived a conscientious and Christian life, made few unnecessary words, and almost always his conversation drifted to spiritual things. He was well versed in scripture, his counsel was much respected, and he was a believer in the scripture passage: "If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men." We belive he could very sell say with the apostle Paul, "I have fought a good fight. I have finished my course, I have kept faith; henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at that day; and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing." Funeral services were held at the home, conducted by John R. Swantz, Samuel Bender, and Noah Yoder of Arthur, Ill. Burial in the East Union Cemetery.
