At the age of 6 she came with her parents by covered wagon to Johnson Co., Ia., and lived the remainder of her life in that same county. In her youth she united with the church of her choice and remained a faithful and consistent member until death. On Jan. 12, 1873, she was united in marriage with David Reber who preceded her in death 25 years ago. To this union were born 4 sons and 5 daughters (Joseph, Shelbyville, Ill.; Joel, Wellman, Ia.; George, Iowa City; Lydia, wife of John Gingerich, Kalona, Ia.; Barbara, wife of William Detweiler, Oxford; Anna who died; Lizzie, wife of Edward Schmucker, Iowa City; Nancy, wife of Guy Weidlein, Wellman; and Noah, Milford, Nebr.). She also leaves 34 grandchildren and 47 great-grandchildren besides many other relatives and friends. Two sisters survive (Mrs. Anna Swartzendruber, Parnell, Ia., and Mrs. Lizzie Schlabaugh, Wellman, Ia.). She was one of the early pioneers of the community and has contributed much to the establishing of the homes of the community. Likewise she was not without responsibility in the work of the church. Her husband was a minister and her father and grandfather were bishops. Her grandfather was the pioneer Amish bishop of this community. She enjoyed good health most of her life and only as old age came on did her health begin to fail and her readiness to depart was manifested in her often repeating "to depart and be with Christ is far better." Funeral services were held at the Lower Deer Creek Church, Sept. 25, 1943 by Bros. J. Y. Swartzendruber and Ray F. Yoder of Wakarusa, Ind.
