Herr - Nancy
Source: Crawfordsville Journal, April 30 1887
Died on April 25 at her home near Thorntown, Mrs. Nancy Herr in the 80th year of her age. Mrs. Herr was born in Lancaster Co, Pa Sept 27, 1807. She had resided in Maryland, Ohio and at Crawfordsville and elsewhere in Indiana until 1881 when she moved to Washington Twp, Boone Co. Mrs. Herr was a most estimable Christian woman who was respected and loved by all who knew her. She was always kind, considerate abounding in charity and devoted to the welfare of her family and ready to bear her share of the burden and duties of life. Most of her children and a number of grandchildren and a large commerce of friends were present at the funeral services. Rev S Sawyer of Thorntown presided the funeral sermon from Isaiah 46:4 "And even of your old age I said he and even to Mary hairs I will carry your I have made and I will bear even I will carry and will deliver you." Mrs. Herr was received into the United Brethren church nearly 40 years ago, and by transfer of membership, has been associated with God's people ever since she was. When her work was done, she might be taken to her heavenly home without prolonged suffering. Her desire was granted. Of heart disease with scarcely a struggle or the consciences of suffering she ended her earthly pilgrimage. She was buried in the beautiful Cemetery close by the township house and her kindred bow with resignation to the Providence that has taken her away and feel that "all is well." --- typed by kbz
