She was one of a family of 19 children 7 dying in infancy, and 6 brothers and 6 sisters growing to manhood and womanhood, all living with their families in the vicinity north of Kalona. At the age of 17 she accepted Christ as her Saviour and united with the Old Order Mennonite Church and remained a faithful member until death. Feb. 22, 1891, she was married to John D. Hershberger, who preceded her in death April 21, 1940. They lived all but the first year on the farm where she died, sharing their joys and sorrows together for nearly 50 years. To this union were born 8 children: Ada (wife of Bishop Ira Nissley); Bishop Edwin Hershberger; Lena (wife of Lewis Ropp); Pre. Daniel Hershberger; Anna (wife of Jesse Shettler); Ruth, at home; and Joseph Hershberger, living on the home place, all from Kalona, Ia. One daughter (Barbara) died at the age of 7 months. She also leaves 46 grandchildren, 7 great-grandchildren, 3 brothers (Joel, John, and Benedict Miller, all of Kalona, Ia.). In February she was stricken with a severe heart attack from which she recovered sufficiently to attend church services once. She was again stricken with a heart attack on June 4, but the immediate cause was acute peritonitis which lasted four days. She will be greatly missed by her friends and relatives, who always enjoyed the hospitality of their home. "She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. For her price is far above rubies" (Prov. 31:27,28,10). Funeral services were conducted at the home by Bros. Henry Mast of Illinois and Aaron Yoder of Delaware.
