She was the 2nd oldest girl & had 11 siblings. Her parents last home together was on a farm on Rt.#5, Rushcreek Twp., later known as 6910 Ireland Rd. in North Berne. They didn't have much money & the older sisters said when they were little in the early 1900s, they had to walk everywhere, or their parents would hitch up the horse & buggy to go into Lancaster. On a Saturday night, their Dad's brother, Walter, used to come out & play the fiddle, and their Dad whistled & played the harmonica, or 'juice harp" as he called it. A lot of people would come to hear them play. Later the family got their first automobile that they called, "the machine".
Sometimes they would cross the field to Collins Chapel to catch the Cincinnati & Muskingum Valley train to neighboring towns. They went to church there & many of their family members are buried at the cemetery, but all the structures where people gathered are gone due to the loss of the railroad. The family also attended Rushville Methodist Church.
Lilly married Harry "Sam" Bieber & had 10 children, 3 died as babies. Their children attended Berne Union School. Lillie married 2nd husband, Jim Spires. She had many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Lilly is buried next to Jim, her siblings & several of her children. Nine of the 12 siblings are buried in this cemetery.
