Mrs. Christiana Shroll passed from earth to the life eternal at 11:15 pm Wednesday night, death resulting from the infirmities of her advanced age. Her health had long been feeble, and she simply faded from earth, passing quietly and peacefully into the slumber that is never broken by the last foes.
The funeral will be held Saturday. The friends will meet at the house at 10 am sun time and the services will be conducted there by her pastor, Rev. Dr. Clarence Gardner, followed by interment in the hallowed precincts of Oakwood Cemetery.
Christiana Layman was born in Berks County, Pennsylvania, on February 27, 1819, and at her death had attained the great age of 87 years, one month, and one day. She grew to womanhood in her native state, and then came with her parents to Crawford County.
On March 20, 1842, she was united in holy wedlock with William Shroll, with whom she lived happily for more than sixty-four years. The husband, who passed his eighty-eighth birthday on January 11, is left to mourn the death of his companion of more than three score years.
Two weeks after their marriage, they moved upon the farm which he had purchased, and where they lived during all the years that have since gone by. There they witnessed the transformation of the wilderness into a garden of bloom, and bore their part in the labors and hardships by which the miracle was wrought.
To their union four children were born, and all are left to mourn their own great loss and to comfort their aged father in his few remaining days of loneliness and sorrow. They are: Mrs. Lettie Summers, wife of Edward Summers, residing on the home farm; Wesley Shroll, of Hicksville, Ohio; Amos Shroll of Pierson, Michigan; and Mrs. Hattie Gibson, wife of G. B. Gibson, whose farm adjoins that of her parents. The children's children and the more distant relatives form a wide circle, with whom many friends join in sincere grief at Mrs. Shroll's death. She was the last of a family of eight children.
Mrs. Shroll was a Christian woman, earnest, sincere, and useful. She was pure in life, kindly, and generous, a model wife and mother, and a neighbor loved by all about her. Her days were lengthened to nearly four score years and ten, and at their close, those who knew her testify that the world was the better for her having lived in it, while her children "arise and call her blessed." She fought a good fight and kept the faith—she bore the cross and wears the crown. The burden of life is lifted and she sleeps.
