Read More	Gingerich - Mary R Gingerich, (nee Zehr) was born in Oxford Co, Ont, May 18, 1881; died at her home near Wellman, Iowa, April 30, 1918; aged 36 y, 11 m, 12 d. On Friday, 26th a little daughter was born to gladden the home. She was seemingly getting along well until Sunday evening she became suddenly ill and suffered untold pain, but patient and without complaint. All that loved ones and skilled hands could do was of no avail. Peritonitis was found the cause of her death. When only 14 months old she was left motherless, and was reared to womanhood by her uncle, Andrew Zehr. In the spring of 1902 she came to Iowa and on Oct 6, 1904 was united in marriage to Christian Gingerich. To this union were born 3 sons, 1 daughter, Jeremiah Joseph, Leroy Paul, Aldine, and the babe, Louella. Besides the children she leaves a heart-broken husband, 3 brothers, 3 half-sisters, 1 half-brother, step-mother. She united with the Mennonite Church and was a faithful member until death. She was conscious until near the end and the Lord used her to manifest His power among those she was burdened for and one of her last requests was to the beloved ministers who were at her bedside, that they might use their influence and that of the church to help the father bring up her little ones in the fear of the Lord. She longed to remain with her little flock but was fully resigned to the will of God, and after bidding good-by with faithful admonition to loved ones, she begged that the Lord might speed the end and soon smilingly fell asleep in Jesus. Funeral services were held at the West Union Church Friday, conducted from Psa 8:4,5. The services were arranged by the departed one. Remains were laid to rest in nearby Cemetery.
