Barbe - Fannie Barbe, daughter of Abraham and Sarah (Brunk) Blosser, was born in Rockingham Co., Va., Feb. 16, 1859; died Jan. 17, 1935; aged 75 y. 11 m. 1 d. She united with the Mennonite church at the age of eighteen, and lived a faithful Christian life until her death. She was for many years a sufferer with rheumatism, and spent over five years of her life in a wheel chair. She suffered much and often expressed a desire to depart and be with the Father in heaven. She was of a cheerful disposition, and all through her long illness was able to look on the bright side of life, and hoped for the better instead of giving up in despair. Her long and useful life will always be an inspiration to many who remain to mourn her loss. The last five days of her life she was in bed, and the cause of her death was heart failure. She gave clear evidence during her last illness that all was well with her, and was longing to go home. Funeral services were held at the Weaver's Mennonite Church, Jan. 20, conducted by S. H. Rhodes, H. B. Keener, and J. E. Suter. The text she had chosen many years ago - Psa. 17:15. She leaves husband and two daughters: Mrs. Daniel D. Stoltzfus of Martinsburg, Pa., and Mary, at home; also 5 grandchildren, 1 daughter having preceded her in death. She was laid to rest in Weaver's Cemetery, the last one of her family. It is hard to part with loved ones, yet we take courage when we know that there will be a happy meeting if we keep the same faith and hope she had thoughout life.
