Freed. - Emma Smeltzer Freed, daughter of Samuel and Saloma Smeltzer, was born Feb. 18, 1898; died April 2, 1929; aged 31 y. 1 m. 14 d. When but a young girl she accepted Christ as her Savior and united with the Holdeman congregation, Wakarusa, Ind. On July 24, 1920, she was united in marriage to Manford Freed. To this union were born two daughters (Evelyn Fay and Clara Ellen). Prior to her marriage she spent nine months at the Altoona, Pa., Mission. In the spring of 1922 she moved with her husband to Alanson, Mich., to help in the Maple River church, where she faithfully filled the place of a deacon's wife. She suffered much in her life, but she always bore it patiently and uncomplainingly. Besides her sorrowing husband and two daughters, she leaves her parents, 7 brothers, 3 sisters, and many other relatives and friends to mourn her departure. Though we keenly feel the loss of a loving wife and mother, we know that our loss is her gain. Funeral services were held at Petoskey, Mich., after which the body was sent to Wakarusa, Ind., where further services were held in charge of Bros. D. A. Yoder and Silas Weldy. Text, Rev. 20:6. Interment in Olive cemetery.
