Bertha Bell Poucher VanValkenburg WOLF was born April 22, 1871 in Seneca to
Abram B. and Laura Anne McKenzie POUCHER and passed away in Morenci on
Saturday, April 6, 1946.  On August 13, 1889 she was married to Wellington
VANVALKENBURG.  Two children were born to this union Willie Lee of Morenci
and Rena SALSBURY of St. Petersburg, Florida.

Wellington VANVALKENBURG fell in his barn and met a very sad death, as he
was loved by all who knew him.  His death occurred July 26, 1899.

On May 12, 1908 Bertha VANVALKENBURG was married to William G. WOLF of
Seneca.  To them was born one son, Harold, who resides on the old farm.

Mrs. WOLF was born and brought up in a Christian home and was active in the
interest of the church.  When only a small child she united with the
Methodist Church and accepted Christ as her Master.  She was true to the
end.

Friends were always welcome to her home and always greeted cordially.  Her
daily life was one of exemplary Christian living, and her fond ambition was
to help others and her prayer was to walk closer with her Master.

She was a member of the Eastern Star and of the Pythian Sisters.  She was a
member of the Grange for sixty years and chaplain of the Grange for many
years.  She was president of the Northeast Division of the Methodist W. S.
C. S.

Always a true friend to the needy, she has left a large circle of friends.
