Donna, What publication was this obit. in? The Lewistown Sentinel? The Huntingdon Daily News? Or which? I am a direct descendant of Aunt Kate's sister Priscilla and in touch via email with descendants of "Aunt Mary" and another sister. Are you related? If so, how? I have been researching the Hershberger/Harshbarger families (there are three distinctly different families that are descendents of one of the three Christian Hershberger's) in hopes that some day I may publish a study, and even find a connection between the two that settled in central Penna. Would love to exchange info.
