RESIDENT CAMDEN FOR 56 YEARS DIES AT AGE 93 YEARS

Mrs. Elizabeth SCHENCK died at the home of her son W. SCHENCK in Camden last
Sunday evening from ailments incident to old age after a continuous residence of
56 years in that place.  She was an exceptionally well loved old person, being
of a kind disposition which endeared her to all. She was one of those good old
souls who shared the joys and pleasures of her friends as well as deeply
sympathetic to their sorrows.  She even had something in common with her little
friends and the children of Camden all knew her as a real friend. The funeral
was held at the Lutheran church, Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 by her pastor Rev.
Morgan L. Webb.  Interment in the Camden cemetery.  Four grandsons and two great
grandsons acted as pall bearers.

1842, she was married to Michael SCHENCK.  In 1856 they came to Camden where
they lived happily together, raising a family of ten children, six of whom are
living, although some are growing old in years themselves. Mr. SCHENCK was a
plasterer and stone mason and much of his work is standing today as a monument
to his honesty and  business integrity. it is said he never slighted a job of
work for any cause. He passed away about 12 years ago.  Those pioneer citizens
of Camden were always known for their uprightness, their word being absolutely
dependable, their lives being a worthy example of the religion they embraced in
their early lives.  Mrs. SCHENCK had been a member of the Lutheran church for
over 60 years and was a worker in many of its auxiliaries. She was the primary
Sunday school teacher for 25 years. She has lived a life that will be a shining
ideality in the years to come.

She is survived by six children, 12 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren, and 3
great-great grandchildren, besides one brother, Daniel SPANGLER of Washington
township, and Mrs. John M. GRANT of Burlington township, both of whom are well
up in their eighties.
