                                 OBITUARY

Lucy Ann Garber was born in Greenville, Penn.,September 30, 1841, and departed 
tis life December 29, 1912, being 71 years, 2 months and 29 days of age. Her 
mother died leaving her an orphan at the age of ten. At the age of 19 she was 
united in marriage to John Strickland, but the next years he answered the call 
of his country and soon gave his life as did thousands of other brave men on the 
field of battle. She was again married in 1866 to Chas. Hastings. To this union 
five children were born who still survive her.

She was a kind and loving mother and an earnest and devoted christian. Since her 
conversion eight years ago her chief aim was to do her Master's will. She fell 
asleep in Jesus and in the morn she will awake in His likeness and be satisfied. 
Funeral New Years day at the United Brethren Church, Rev. J.A. Davis preaching 
the sermon. The body was placed in the Vault at Lakeside.
