Emma Frances Wenger

Wenger - Sister Emma Wenger, wife of Bro. D. P. Wenger and daughter of Bro. and Sister S. D. Heatwole, died of a complication of diseases at their home near Dale Enterprise, Va., May 13; aged 45 y. 6 m. She had been suffering from Tuberculosis for several years. Other complications set in and she died very suddenly and unexpectedly. She had been a member of the Mennonite Church from early youth during which time she adorned her profession by living a consistent, faithful, devoted life, and died in the faith and we believe she entered into rest. She leaves besides her husband, one son, four daughters, three step-children, father and mother, four brothers, and three sisters to mourn their loss. Funeral services were held on May 15. conducted by the Brethren J. S. Martin and L. J. Heatwole from Psalm 4:8, after which her body was interred in the cemetery near the church.
