OBITUARY
Eliza Williams was born February 8, 1856 in Meigs county, Ohio. February 20, 1879, she was
united in marriage to Aaron Loutzenheiser. To this union were born nine children, six of
whom remains to mourn the loss of a loving mother. She departed this life March 29, 1901;
aged forty-five years, one month and twenty-one days. Besides the children mentioned above
she leaves a husband, four brothers and three sisters to await the call from on high to
meet her with the loved ones gone before. An affectionate wife, a kind and loving mother,
her life is worthy of ennulation (sic). Her end was peaceful, her home-going triumphant
through Him who said, "I will give you rest." Funeral services were held at the
M.E. church at Steele Sunday morning, March 31, conducted by Rev E.H. Peters.
(Note: Eliza Williams was daughter of John T. Williams and Belinda Selby.)
