She was baptized upon confession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as her personal savior on Oct. 30, 1895 by Rev. John Baer, and joined the Salem-Zion Mennonite Church near Freeman, S. D. She was married to Peter C. Gering on Jan. 10, 1901, and they spent most of their life farming near Starkweather, N. D. In 1919 they adopted Edith when she was two weeks old.
