MRS. ALBERT EGGIMAN

Mrs. Olivia (Gerber) Eggiman was born in the Central Howell community on April 8, 1893. On November 1, 1916, she was married to Albert E. Eggiman.

She passed away April 23, 1947, at the age of 55, at the Cottage Home where she had lived for the past six months. She is survived by her husband, Albert E. Eggiman, two sisters, Mrs. Alma Zuercher and Mrs. Lily Baer, and two brothers, Louis and Eldon Gerber, all of Salem, Oregon.

The deceased was a member of the Pratum, Oregon, Mennonite church.

Funeral services were held on Saturday afternoon, April 10, at the Pratum Mennonite church. Rev. John M. Franz spoke words of comfort, taking his text from St. John 11. Two numbers were given by an octet. The body was laid to rest in the family lot at the Pratum cemetery.

We mourn, yet not as those who have no hope, for we know that she lived in Christ and died in Christ. — The bereaved family.
