One year ago she had an attack of influenza which developed into tuberculosis and was the cause of her death. She often exclaimed, "Oh, I am so tired, but I must also have my share of suffering but oh, how thankful I can be to the Lord that it is just a feeling of tiredness." She spent her hours in praying for her family and the last morning before she died she was very much concerned about them and the multitude in this world for which she loudly prayed. Funeral services at the church Dec. 30 by C. Noftsier in German (Text, Matt. 25 Her favorite chapter) and in English by Joe Zehr. Interment in Kirschnerville Cemetery.
**Note: The grave markers for Barbara, Bertha and Grace Martin are not the original markers. New markers were placed in the 1960s or 1970s and did not get the right dates. Barbara died in 1919, not 1920 as the marker reads. The death date has been confirmed with the Town of Martinsburg Town Clerk. Source: Nelson Schwartzentruber, 1/15/2022.
