Stemen.- Elizabeth Stemen (nee Beery) was born in Fairfield Co., Ohio, May 6, 1827; died in Putnam Co., Ohio, May 12, 1907; aged 80 Y., 6 D. She was united in marriage to Daniel Stemen, Nov. 26, 1846, and they lived happily together for 60 Y., 5 M., 16 D. To this union were born fourteen children, of whom seven preceded her to the spirit world. She leaves to mourn her death an aged husband, five sons, two daughters, 41 grandchildren, 34 great-grandchildren, two sisters, besides a large number of relatives and friends, but they mourn not without hope, as we have good evidence that she lived and died in the Lord. She was a faithful member of the Mennonite church for about forty-five years and remained steadfast to the end. In the death of Sister Stemen the husband has lost a devoted and loving wife, the children and grandchildren a kind mother and grandmother, the community a good neighbor, and the church a faithful member. She was always willing and ready to lend a helping hand in time of need to all. In her last years, not being able any more to go to the house of worship, an occasional meeting was held at her home, which she enjoyed very much. The writer visited her a few weeks before her death, when she expressed herself as being perfectly reconciled with her God and said she was ready to go whenever the Lord saw fit to take her home, and she calmly and peacefully fell asleep in the triumph of a living hope in her Redeemer. May all prepare to meet her in heaven. May the words of our Savior be heeded, "Be ye also ready." On account of the aged husband being in feeble health, funeral services were conducted at the home on the 14th by Moses Brenneman and J. M. Shenk, from Matt. 24:44. Her funeral was largely attended. Burial at Salem. Peace to her ashes.
