Deffenbaugh.--Catharine, wife of Christian Deffenbaugh, died at her home near Masontown, Pa., Oct. 14, 1910; aged 64 y. 11 m. 22 d. She had been afflicted with heart disease and dropsy for many months, and a few days before she died she took pneumonia, which soon ended her life. She was born Oct. 22, 1845, and was married to Christian Deffenbaugh Oct. 27, 1864. She is survived by her husband, 2 sons, 5 daughters, a number of grandchildren and many relatives and friends, who deeply mourn their loss.
Sister Deffenbaugh has for many years been a shining light in her own congregation and neighborhood. Kind to the poor, ready to help all who were in need, devoted to the cause of Christ and the Church, ready in testimony and consistent in life, she won her way to the hearts of the people and will long be remembered by those she left behind. During her last sickness she earnestly admonished her children and others to walk in the ways of righteousness and do all in their power to work for the upbuilding of the kingdom, and when her body became so weak that she was unable longer to be used on earth she peacefully fell asleep and went to her eternal rest.
Funeral at the Masontown Mennonite Church, Oct. 16, conducted by Aaron Loucks, J. A. Brilhart and Daniel Kauffman. Interment in cemetery near by. Parents are Jacob 'Singing' Johnson (1819-1874) and Susannah Durr (1828-1851) both probably buried in Durr Cemetery, on private land and now overgrown.
