text of obituary:

Freni (nee Krehbiel) Goering, daughter of John and Katharina Krehbiel and wife of John Goering, a former church deacon who preceded her in death over 11 years ago, was born Feb. 28, 1856, in Wolynian Russia, in the vicinity of Dubno and the village of Chortis.

The family soon migrated to Edwardsdorf and there the departed attended school and later also took catechetical instruction and was baptized jupon confession of faith in her Redeemer on May 21, 1865. She was thus taken into the Mennonite Church whose faithful member she remained unto her death.

Early in the life of the departed, her mother was taken in death and since she was the oldest in the family many duties of a mother fell upon her.
