During the last two and a half years of her life she was blind. She was married twice, her first husband being Benjamin Miller, with whom she had four children, three of whom survive her: - Mary Troyer, of Elkhart, Ind.; Abraham B., of Woodson Co., Kans., and Benjamin B., of Thomas, Okla. Her first husband died from the effects of a tree falling on his leg and crushing it. On Dec. 31, 1843, she was united in matrimony to Christian Hershberger. To this union were born eight children: Elizabeth Beechy of Middlebury, Ind.; John C., of McPherson Co., Kans.; Katy Hostetler and Jacob C. of Middlebury, Ind.; and Moses C. of Jet, Okla. The other three died in early youth. Bro. Hershberger died July 17, 1882. During her last years she lived with her children. Her posterity now living are eight children, thirty-nine grandchildren, fifty-five great-grandchildren, and six great-great grandchildren. In early youth she united with the old order of the Amish Mennonite church and remained a faithful member until the Master called her home. Funeral at Forest Grove on March 15, where a large number of people gathered to pay a last tribute of respect to one who was in their midst for many years. Services were conducted by Jacob Miller and D. D. Miller, from Luke 23: 28 and Rev. 14:13."For many years she longed to go home to her Savior where she might rest from her labors and be forever happy. She peacefully fell asleep at the home of her son, Jacob, from the effects of old age, no sign of sickness being visible. We feel sad to have her leave us, yet glad that the Master could say to her "It is enough, come up higher," for soon we expect to meet her again where parting shall never be known. – HER SON JACOB"
