MRS. P. H. PENNER
Mrs. Elizabeth Penner, daughter of Peter and Katherine Rempel Neumann, was born in Grossweide, South Russia, Jan 11, 1879 and passed away at the home of her daughter Helen, North Newton, Kan., on April 2, 1955, following a stroke suffered a week before. She spent one happy week in this home before the final illness overtook her.
She came to America in 1903 with her husband and daughters, their first home being in Goessel, Kansas. Two years later they moved to Georgia, returning to Kansas in 1911. Since that time Newton was her home; the last two years were spent at the Bethel Home for the Aged. Her husband preceded her in death on May 14, 1951.
She had been a faithful member of the Bethel College Mennonite church since the family moved to Newton.
She is survived by three daughters, Helen, Mrs. J. H. Lingenfelder of North Newton, Katherine, Mrs. H. R. Barton of Burton, Wash., and Elizabeth, Mrs. Wallace T. Hiebert of Lancaster, Calif., and three granddaughters.
"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:31
Services were conducted Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 in the Bethel College chapel. Rev. Harold Buller officiating. Interment was made in Greenwood cemetery.
