AMANDA PUTERBAUGH , daughter of Henry and Malinda (Yontz) Puterbaugh, was born near Lanark, Illinois, March 24, 1853, and passed on to be with her Lord on February 4, 1933, at the home of her sister, Mrs. Emma Watkins of Plymouth, Indiana, at the age of 79 years, 10 months, and 10 days. The earlier years of her life were spent on the Puterbaugh farm north of Lanark and she later came with her parents to Lanark, where she lived until the home was broken up. Since that time she has lived with her brothers and sisters. She was one of a family of eleven children, four of whom have preceded her in death. Three brothers, and three sisters remain to mourn the passing of a sister who was loved by all alike. They are Frank and William, of Lanark; Albert B., of Milledgeville; Mrs. Maude Prugh of Mt. Morris; Mrs. Emma Watkins of Plymouth, Indiana; and Mrs. Ida Beidler of Chadwick. All these, with many other relatives and a great throng of friends, will miss the kindly association of one who filled a large place in their lives. Sister Puterbaugh united with the Brethren Chruch in Lanark on January 19, 1891, being baptized by Elder A. T. Livengood, then pastor of the Church. She remained faithful and true to her Lord and to all the interests of His church until she was called to share in all the glory of the church triumphant. Her hearing had been impaired from childhood, but through all these years had faith in God and her love for His Word never waned. Though she could not hear the Word preached, she was found in God's house and her place was seldom vacant at the Lord's table. Among the precious themes of God's word to her was the appearing of the Lord, for whose coming she longed. Two years ago she called for the elders of the church and received the rite of anointing with oil in the name of the Lord, from which service she received a great blessing. All that loving hands could do from brothers and sisters and friends could not stay the hand of death and she slipped away quietly to the other shore to join with loved ones and hear the, "well done, good and faithful servant." Every heart is made lighter, every tear is dried, and all alike find comfort the promises that God has made in His word to all His believing children. Peace to her until the resurrection morning when all the dead in Christ shall come forth to be with their Lord and share in the glory of the redeemed of God throughout eternity. Funeral services were conducted at the First Brethren Church in Lanark on Lord's Day afternoon, February 5, in charge of her pastor, Eld. Z. T. Livengood, with interment in the Lanark cemetery. The pall bearers were Brice Puterbaugh, Forrest Hawk, Robert Puterbaugh, William Litwiller, George Corbett and Raymond Messner. The music was furnished by the ladies' quartet from the church, consisting of Mrs. Verna Campbell, Miss Vada Grisso, Mrs. Clyde Lower and Mrs. C. C. Grisso, with Mrs. Harry Engles, accompanying.
