Obituary

Emma Kneibehler, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Kneibehler, was born Feb. 13, 1882, near Vistula Ind., where she made her home until her marriage, Dec. 18, 1912, to William G. Ford, of Iowa Falls, Iowa. In February, 1913, they moved to their present home on their farm three miles east of Orchard, where their daughter Ruth, was born.

At the age of 18 years she was born into the family of believers in Christ Jesus and in later years took the steps into the deeper life of fellowship with her Lord. During the last few weeks she had a continual longing to be carried across to the place Jesus had in mind when He said, “I go to prepare a place for you.” She went peacefully in Him, April 4, 1937, at the age of 55 years, 1 month and 22 days.

The husband and daughter, three brothers-Fred of Tampa, Fla.; Ed, E-----, Mich., and Frank, Elkhart, Indiana- two sisters, Mrs. Ida Carlson and Mrs. Fred We-----Elkhart, Ind. remain to mourn her departure.
