Read More	Erb .-Leah, daughter of David and Anna (Longenecker) Miller, was born near Bainbridge, Pa., March 14, 1842, the tenth child in a family of fourteen children. She died May 16, 1939, at the home of her daughter in Newton, Kans.; aged 97 y. 2 m. 2 d. She grew to womanhood in the community where she was born, and on Nov. 19, 1863, she was married to Jacob R. Erb. To this union 5 children were born, of whom 2 daughters survive, Mary (Mrs. Jonas H. Eby) of Miami, Fla., and Susie (Mrs. Eugene Swim) of Newton. Her husband preceded her in death on Oct. 11, 1908 and also 3 of her children: Jacob M. died at the age of 6 years, on March 20, 1880; Annie (Mrs. C. Reiff) died July 10, 1924; and Tillman, her oldest son, minister and bishop of the Pennsylvania congregation for many years, died January 25, 1929. She was a much loved grandmother to 32 grandchildren, 73 great-grandchildren, and 5 great-great-grandchildren. Sixteen months ago she fell and fractured her hip, which left her a helpless invalid since that time. She suffered a slight stroke three weeks before her death, from which she gradually grew weaker until the end came. With her husband and family she came to Kansas from Pennsylvania arriving at Newton March 1, 1885. Three miles northwest of the city they established a home where they lived through pioneer years. This home was long a hospitable landing place for friends and relatives who came to the West either to establish homes or to visit. Jacob Erb and his wife were charter members of the Pennsylvania congregation, and she is the last of these charter members to pass away. Her husband was ordained a deacon in the church, and in the responsibilities of this office she faithfully assisted him. Her Christian life was practically beyond reproach, and she often testified to God's goodness and her love to Him. Her memory will be sacred in the minds of her descendants and her many friends. Funeral services were held May 18 at the Pennsylvania Mennonite Church in charge of Earl Buckwalter assisted by Milo Kauffman. Text: Psa. 73:25, 26. June 1, 1939 - Vol. XXXII, No 9 - pages 191
