PEFFLEY
On the 16th of Feb., 1891, near the Strasburg church, Franklin Co., Pa., of the infirmities of old age, Sister Lydia Peffley, aged 80 years. She leaves a sister and many warm friends to mourn their loss. She was a consistent member of the Mennonite Church for many years. She was blind twenty years before here death, but her spiritual eyes beheld that beautiful land “where milk and honey flows.” She left a hope behind that she has obtained that crown of life and that rest which remaineth for the people of God, Sister Lydia's brother Samuel (see notice above {actually in another file now}) died but thirteen days before her. Only one sister, widow Veronica Coffman, remains in the family. These three lived together these many years. Her remains were laid to rest on the 19th at the Salem Church, where services were held by Peter Wadle in German and P. H. Parret in English, from Philippians 1:21. Many friends and neighbors assembled to pay their last respects to one whom they loved.
