She became a Christian and united with the Mennonite church in her youth and remained a faithful member until death. On Nov. 5. 1891, she was married to Daniel Shenk, the of Elida, O. Her husband preceded her in death just a few days less than 4 months and one daughter passed away 9 years ago. Surviving are 8 children: Elizabeth and Amos at home; William, Newport News; Daniel, Denbigh; Pre. Ray, Cottage City, Md.; Mrs. J.W. Longacher, Oyster Point, Va.; Mrs. J.P. Sauder, Denbigh; and Pre. John H. Knoxville, Tenn; also 2 stepsons ( Menno and Andrew Shenk, Elida, O.) 2 stepdaughters ( Mrs.. T. Steman and Mrs. H.P. Hertzler, Denbigh). and 29 grandchildren besides quite a number of step-grandchildren and great grandchildren. Three sisters and 2 brothers survive; Mrs. A.M. Shenk, Hammett Ida; Mrs. J.P Bontrager, Atwater, Calif; Mrs. A.P Mishler, Los Angeles Calif.; Geo. Hilty, Hammett, Ida; and John Hilty, Goshen, Ind. Sister Shenk will be remembered for her faithful performance of the many duties that fell to her lot as the wife of a minister and the mother of a large family. She was far more interested in the spiritual welfare of her children than in any material gain, and she bent her efforts to that end. The fact that several of them are engaged in active work for the church was a source of comfort and satisfaction to her. Although ill for several months, her death ( Due to a heart attack) was very unexpected. She took sick at the time of her husband's passing and had suffered several relapses but was apparently gaining in strength and had enjoyed visits with various friends the day she passed away. Funeral services on March 31 were in charge of Bro. T.H. Brunk and George R. Brunk., after which her body was laid to rest beside that of her husband in the near by cemetery.
