Effie Hostetler's obituary, submitted by Dave Friedline, omitted her father
Joseph's name. I looked up her mother's obituary. It was in the Gospel
Herald Jan. 12, 1945 p. 389.

Hostetler. --- Louisa Shetler Hostetler, daughter of the late Jacob and
Amelia Shetler, was born Jan. 11, 1874, near Johnstown, Pa.; died at he
Memorial Hospital, Johnstown, Dec. 22, 1944; aged 70 y. 11 m. 11 d. On April
26, 1896, she was married to Joseph Hostetler. To this union three children
were born, two of whom survive her: Norman and Edna (married to Leroy
Yoder), both of Hollsopple, Pa. She was preceded in death by her husband in
1925, by a daughter (Effie) in 1915, and by one grandchild. She united with
the Mennonite Church about forty-eight years ago and remained faithful until
death. Funeral services were held Dec. 26, at the home and at the Blough
Mennonite Church, in charge of H. C. Blough and John A. Lehman.
