"HUBER. On the 12th of October, 1891, near Lititz, Warwick Twp., Lancaster Co., Pa., Harriet, wife of Bro. Abraham H. Huber, aged 46 years, 6 months and 18 days. Seven weeks ago, the dear sister became seriously ill with violent pains in the body, which the doctor relieved with morphine, and after a few weeks she was able to go about again for about one week, but on the 24th of September she took her bed again for her last and painful suffering, which, however, she bore patiently as a true Christian. Several weeks before her departure she said, "I am free from all worldly and earthly cares." She had a desire to be encouraged with the word of God, the living water of life, and prayed to Jesus as long as her feeble lips were able to do so. She departed in the full hope to meet there six little children who preceded her. She leaves her a deeply bereaved husband with one son and two daughters to mourn their loss. Interment on the 15th inst. At Hess's new Mennonite meeting house, where a large congregation of neighbors and friends assembled to pay their last respects to the deceased sister. Services by John B. Landis in German from Psalm 34: 18 20 and by John K. Brubaker in English from 1 Thess. 4: 13, 14.
"Dearest mother, thou hast left us,
And thy loss we deeply feel
But 'til God that hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in thy grave so low;
Thou no more wilt join our number,
Thou no more our sorrows know.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life has fled;
And in heaven with joy to greet thee
Where no farewell tears are shed.""
