Obituary Herald of Truth 9/1877 Aug. 27th, in Elkhart Co., Ind., HANNAH, wife of Levi STONER, aged 44 years and 18 days. A singularly severe affliction seems to have fallen upon the family of Friend Stoner. One of the daughters took sick with Typhoid fever and during the succeding weeks five other members of the family were taken down with the same disease, among whom was the wife and mother of the household. She lingered a few weeks with good hopes of recovery, when the day before her death, hemorrhage set in and she sank rapidly and died. She was born in Columbiana Co., Ohio, on th 9th of August 18?3*. She was married on June 24th 18?2** and the following year, in April, came to Elkhart Co., Ind. She was the mother of 9 children two of whom died before her. She was a devoted wife, a kind mother, ready to aid, comfort and encourage all in need, and was beloved and respected by all who knew her. During some years past she was deeply concerned for the salvation of her soul, and prayed earnestly that the Lord might direct her in the way of life, and we trust her prayer has been heard. She was buried on the 28th, folowed to her grave by a large concourse of relatives and friends. Services by J. G. Biddle and J. F. Funk from Isa. 3?:1***. She leaves a sorrowing husband, seven children (three still very sick), an aged mother and many friends to mourn their loss. May their loss be her eternal gain. *The third digit is not readible.
