"Malinda, daughter of Rudolph and Mary (Hartzler) Byler was born Oct. 14, 1859, in Lawrence County, Pa.: died Nov. 6, 1940, aged 81y 23d. In 1885, She was united in marriage to Jacob Henry Detweiler. In 1886, they moved to Hutchinson, Kans., but on account of her ill health they returned again to Lawrence County, in 1890. In the spring of 1899, they moved to Nampa, Ida., where her husband died April 9, 1901. In the fall of the same year, she with her children returned to Pennsylvania where she spent the rest of her life. They were blessed with 5 children of whom 4 survive: Minerva (Mrs. Abraham Kauffman), Amelia (Mrs. Harvey Miller), both of Volant, Pa.; Perry Detweiler of Grenville, Pa.; Raymond Detweiler, Colorado Springs, Colo. In 1919 she was married to Pre. Jonathan Lantz, who survives her. Besides her husband and children, she leaves 3 stepchildren (John Lantz, Mrs. Chris. Lapp, Mrs. Menno Moose), 2 brothers and 2 sisters (Jacob H. Byler, Clarence Center, N.Y.; Rudolph Byler, Uniontown, Ohio; Mrs. William Sipe, Erie, Pa.; Mary Byler, Eureka, Ill.), 19 grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren, and a host of other relatives and friends. Besides her first husband, she was preceded in death by 1 son, 4 brothers, and 1 sister. Her health began to fail about three years ago. This past year she suffered much from heart disease, but was patient and often expressed a desire to go home and be at rest with her Lord. At the age of 18 she united with the Mennonite Church and her Bible was very precious to her. She had a deep concern for spiritual things. At one time during her first marriage she was sick, and very near death's door, and while those around her bedside thought she was dying, she said she watched an angel pass by who told her, "You will not die until your hair are as white as snow." How true this was. I believe that the same angel drew nigh again, just two evenings previous to her passing away. The scene I witnessed and her angelic face will not soon be forgotten. Funeral services were held Nov. 9, conducted by Bros. E. R. Hartzler, E. J. Zook, and Roy Kauffman."
