"MRS. ELIAS HIRSCHY.
Died Friday Evening-
-A Loving Husband and Four Children Mourn their Loss.
Mrs. Elias Hirschy, who for more than forty years has endured the trials and tribulations
of this world and who has ever held fondly a hope of a sweet, long rest with her Saviour
in the world beyond, passed away quietly to her long rest, Friday evening, Aug. 30th. A
heart broken husband and four children the oldest of them being but thirteen years, are
left behind to mourn her death.
"Mrs. Hirschy was united in the bonds of wedlock with Mr. Hirschy in the year 1887
and to this union has been born ten children in all six of them being with their mother
once more in the glad beyond.
"The farewell tributes were paid by Rev. Wm. Egle and Rev. S. F. Sprunger, at the
Mennonite Church, and one of the largest funeral concourses ever in the city sadly
followed the remains to their last resting place. Mrs. Hirschy was 42 years and 7 months.
