Loucks - Amelia, daughter of Jacob L. and Nancy (Aspey) Medsger, was born near Smithton, Pa., Dec. 2, 1861; died at her home in Scottdale, Pa., early Thursday morning, Dec. 10, 1931; aged 70 y. 8 d.
On Oct. 28, 1886, she was married to Aaron Loucks, and later it fell to her to be the help meet for a minister and bishop in the Church.
To this union were born two sons (Walter M. and William J.) and one daughter (Anna). Sister Loucks was converted in 1887 and united with the United Brethren church in Scottdale. In January, 1895, she transferred her membership to the Scottdale Mennonite Church. She took an active interest in Church work, especially along philanthropic lines. She extended a generous hospitality to laity and ministry, friend, and stranger. During her later years she was a patient sufferer from several ailments, which interfered with her church activities. For some time past she had expressed her desire to lay aside her mantle of pain and weakness and to depart and be with her Lord.
She is survived by her husband (who is the General Manager of the Mennonite Publishing House), two sons, a daughter, four brothers, and three sisters. Funeral services were held Dec. 13 at the home and at the Scottdale Mennonite Church, in charge of Bro. J.S. Shoemaker and the home ministers. Text, Rev. 2:7. Burial in Alverton Cemetery. "The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed we the name of the Lord."
