MORE OBITUARIES OF RIPE OLD AGE
Those Who Have Reached the Great "Terminal"

Marietta Shoemaker was born at Canandagua NY., Sept. 4th 1826, and died Feb. 
25th 1912, aged 85 years, 5 months and 21 days. She lived near the place of her 
birth until Oct. 26th, 1853, when she was married to Phillip Yaw of Mendon, 
Monroe Co., N.Y. To this union were born four daughters, Mrs Alvah Prosser of 
Walla Walla, Washington, Sarah and Emma I. who preceded their mother to the 
better world in childhood and Mrs. A.J. Koutz who is present with us and at 
who's home she died, and with whom she has lived since the death of her husband 
eight years ago.

The deceased was the youngest of family of four, two sons and two daughters all 
of whom have preceded her to the other world. She was a very devoted wife and 
mother loved by all who knew her.

June 25, 1911 she was stricken with paralysis since which she has been helpless; 
during her months of sickness she remained very patient and self sacrificing, 
even to the end, many times as expressing her self ready and wanting to go only 
waiting God's time.

Beside the two daughters she has eight grandchildren three great-grandchildren 
and a host of other friends to mourn their loss.

Through all pain at times she'd smile, A smile of heavenly birth;
And when the angels called her home, She smiled farewell to earth.
Heaven retaineth now our treasures,
Earth the lonely casket keep,And the sunbeams long to linger,
Where our sainted mother sleeps.

The funeral was largely attended at 10:30 Thursday at the Koutz home, the sermon 
being preached by Rev. Philo of the Wesleyan church and the singing was by 
Herrick Fox and daughter Sadie, Mrs Orvin Dillenbeck and Mr. Russell Goodemoot. 
Interment was made in Lakeside cemetery.

                                CARD OF THANKS     
We wish to extend our sincere thanks and gratitude to the many friends who so 
kindly assisted us at the time of the death and burial of our beloved mother, 
also the Missionary society for the beautiful floral offering, to the pastor and 
the singers for their services.  
                         Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Koutz and family
