I found this lovely obituary while researching old newspapers. Hope someone can use the info. Obituary notice from the Harrisonburg Daily News, Monday, March 1, 1909 MRS. WILLIAM DERRER DEAD Suffers Stroke of Paralysis and Lives Only Two Hours After an illness of only two hours, Mrs. William Derrer , an aged lady of the Paulington neighborhood, who had hardly had a day’s sickness in all her long life, breathed her last yesterday afternoon between 6 and 7 o’clock. Shortly after 4 o’clock Mrs. Derrer suffered a severe stroke of paralysis, lapsing into a state of unconsciousness from which she never rallied. Mrs. Derrer was a remarkable woman, having always enjoyed unusual health and strength. It is said that she had never been sick enough to require the services of a physician. Her husband, William Derrer, died in 1885. Eight children survive her-George, J. M., Luther V., and Miss Elmira, at Paulington; R. M. and T. I at Keezletown; Mrs. Nina Bennett, at Oakwood; L. C. Derrer, of the Paulington neighborhood. Deceased was 74 years of age on the 15th day of Last July. She was born and reared in the neighborhood in which she died. Her maiden name was Anna Margie Bolton. A sister, Mrs. Jemima Shelley, lives in Hampshire county, W. Va. She was a member of the United Brethren church. The funeral will take place tomorrow morning at 11 o’clock from Bethel church, services to be conducted by Rev. G. B. Fadeley.
