Lydia was a widow for 17 years. Her great granddaughter Orpha remembers meals, Lydia was a good cook, once Lydia poured off the cream of her milk to flavor the lima beans. She was a member of Lost Creek Mennonite Church. In her later years she lived with her sister Elizabeth. Her eyesight was very bad in her latter years, but she retained a keen mind. She died at her daughter Pheobe Saner's home in Bunkertown, Penn. Her death was due to complications following a fall in which she fractured her hip.
Lydia M. (nee Sausman), wife of Deacon John W. Wert (deceased) was born in Juniata Co., Pa., Feb. 14, 1850; died at the home of her widowed daughter, Mrs. Phoebe Saner, of the same place, Jan. 6, 1939; aged 88 y. 10 m. 23 d.
She truly was a faithful, devoted wife and mother as described in Prov. 31:10-31; and of a kind, loving, sympathetic spirit, to all with whom she came in contact. She accepted Christ as her Saviour about 60 years ago, and remained a faithful member and defender of the Mennonite Church and doctrines until death.
Two infants, her husband, and 2 married sons preceded her in death.
Surviving are, 4 daughters, 2 sons, 56 grandchildren, and 51 great-grandchildren to mourn their loss.
Funeral services at Lost Creek Mennonite Church, conducted by Brethren Samuel Leiter and W. W. Graybill, assisted by Banks Weaver and Donald Lauver. Texts, I Cor. 5:1,2; Job 3:17. May we follow her as she followed Christ, and there meet her again in glory. Interment in adjoining cemetery.
