Read More	Lucretia (Miller) Hershberger, oldest daughter of Peter J. and Catherine (Brenneman) Miller, was born in Washington County, Iowa, December 2, 1872; passed away at her home in Kalona, Iowa December 6, 1944, aged 72y, 4 days. At the age of six, she moved with her parents to McPherson County, Kansas where her mother at the age of thirty-five passed away. She being the oldest child, yet only thirteen, became more or less responsible for the mother's place in the home. In 1892 the family returned to this community, and she has resided here since. In her youth she united with the Mennonite Church and as a faithful member until her death, always manifesting a deep concern in the spiritual welfare of the church and especially in her children and grandchildren. On December 7, 1893, she was united in marriage with J.L. Hershberger. To this union five children were born: Amy-Mrs. Enos Steckly, Nancy-Mrs. Dan M. Yoder and Paul, all of this community, and Homer and Esther at home. Beside the above mentioned children, she leaves to mourn her death, her bereft husband, 12 grandchildren, 3 sisters, Mrs. W.F. Gingerich, Mrs. Joel D. Reber, and Mrs. Arthur Yoder, 3 brothers George, Jacob and Noah, and 2 half sisters Mrs. J. Troyer and Ruth Miller, besides many other relatives and friends. Two sisters and one half sister preceded her in death. On November 28, she was afflicted with a paralytic stroke which left her speechless and practically helpless, although with a limited use of her left hand she would often point heavenward, which doubtless was her way of expressing her desire to go to her long home. Funeral services were held Dec 8 at the home of DJ Fisher and at Lower Deer Creek Church by J.Y. Swartzendruber and D.D. Miller. Text 11 Cor. 5:1
