Blauch. - On the 5th of Oct., 1901, near Kring's Station, Somerset Co., Pa., of cancer, of which disease she suffered for over a year, Sister Mary, wife of Bishop Jonas Blauch, aged 72 years, 1 month, and 25 days. She was married to Jonas Blauch, Feb. 13, 1852. To this union were born eight children, of whom four survive her. She also had thirty one grandchildren, nine dead and twenty-two living. Buried on the 7th at the Stahl Mennonite church, where services were conducted by S.G. Shetler, Isaac Weaver, S. Gindlesperger, Alex. Weaver, and L.A. Blough. Text, I Cor. 15:51. "Behold, I show you a mystery." Sister Blauch had suffered a great deal of pain within the last year but we trust her sorrow is turned to joy.
