Bomberger.­Annie Kreider Bomberger, wife of Bro. Tobias Bomberger was born Oct. 20, 1858; died May 31, 1927: aged 68 y. 7 m. 11 d. Some 36 years ago she was converted and united with the Mennonite Church of which she was a faithful member until death. Death came after an illness of 5 weeks following an operation for gall stone. The sad new of her death occasioned unusual solemnity from the fact that she had aparently sufficiently recovered to return from the hospital to her home. Arrangements were completed for her return. Assisted by Bro. Bomberger and others, she walked from the hospital to the automobile which was to convey her home. A few frief moments after entering the car she "fell asleep"-ut was the sleep of death ! In those weeks of suffering she manifested her resignation to the will of God by saying. "If it is the Lord's will, I shall recover." The untimely departure of our beloved sister at once calls to remembrance her "work of faith and labor of love." Her keen, never-waning interest in the work of Church and Sunday school, in the sewing circle and other charitable work, her kindness and helpfulness in times of trouble and need, her unusual hospitality in the home bringing hope and cheer into lives of others, are among the things "done" for which she will be long remembered and greatly missed wherever she was known. Besides rearing her own family she also be came a kind foster mother to a number of unfortunate orphan children. Besides Bro. Bomberger, her faithful companions, she leaves one brother (A. S. Kreider) one sister ( Lydia Kittering) : four children (Emma, wife of Amos Gibble ; Mattie, wife of Dr. Walter Brubaker ; David, married to Edna Landis ; and Anna). 3 children preceded her in death. She also leaves five grandchildren. Funeral was held at Gingerich's Church near Lebanon, Pa., in charge of N. H. Mack, assisted by David Garber, David Westenberger, and Jacob Ebersole, Interment in adjoining cemetery.
