Mary Matilda Jerge
Mrs. Jerge was born at Harris Hill Dec 22, 1842 and died in this village Sunday morning Feb 27, 1881 after an illness of about 6 weeks. She was the daughter of our esteemed towns man Mr. John Hirsch Sr. On Nov 2, 1859 she was united in marriage to Mr. Jacob Jerge and resided in Lancaster with the exception of a short residence in Batavia until about 3 years ago, since which time she had lived in this village.
