****************************************************

Grabill - Fannie (Troyer) Grabill was born in Middlebury Twp, Elkhart Co, Ind, on May 19, 1882.

She lived at her birthplace till Forest Grove Cemetery she was married to Bro Francis Grabill. For just two short months they had the pleasure of living together.

On Christmas morning they left their home to attend services at the Clinton (Brick) church. On the way they had a runaway and the sister attempted to jump from the buggy and was thrown from it with such force that her skull was fractured. They took her to the home of her father-in-law, Bro Noah Grabill, near whose home the accident occurred. She suffered intensely; all was done that medical skill and loving hands could do, but her condition was beyond earthly help. She prayed God to help her and he heard her cry.

Early on the morning of Dec 29, 1904, after some hours of unconsciousness, she peacefully passed away, having reached the age of 22 y, 7 m, 10 d.

The young brother, who was so soon bereft of his chosen life companion, the mother, brothers and sisters have the sympathy of the entire church and community. But we mourn not as those who have no hope, for the sister gave her heart to God in her early years, united with the Mennonite church and remained a faithful, active member until her death.

The funeral was held Jan 1, 1905, at the Forks church. The services at the house and the opening service at the church were conducted by John Garber of her home church. The funeral sermon was preached by Bro Noah Mack of the Welsh Mountain Mission. Text, Rom 8:28. Services were closed by D D Miller of the Forks congregation.
