Mary Rheinheimer Mishler, daughter of John and Anna Rheinheimer, was born in La Grange Co., Ind., Aug. 14, 1866, and died there at her home May 20, 1915; aged 48 y. 8 m. 6 d. She united with the Mennonite Church at the Forks in her youth and has continued a faithful member until summoned to the other world. As a young woman she kept the house for her father in his widowhood and cared for him until his death in 1906.

In Nov., 1906, she was married to John M. Mishler, with whom she lived in peace until her death. To them one son was born, dying in infancy. For several years her health had been failing and recently she had successive strokes of paralysis which caused her death. Though she expressed a desire to get well, yet she was not worried in mind at the thought of death and said that she willingly committed herself into the hands of the Lord. Mary had lived nearly all her years in one community and had won the respect of friends and neighbors.

Besides her sorrowing husband and his 9 children, 2 brothers, Jacob Rheinheimer and Christian Rheinheimer, and 1 sister, Carrie Hostetler, remain to mourn her departure.
Funeral services were held at the Forks Church, conducted by D. J. Johns and S. E. Weaver. A large concourse of people assembled to pay the last tribute of respect to the beloved sister.
