Elizabeth Barbara Fix

Elizabeth Barbara, eldest daughter of Daniel and Christine Fix, was born near 
Melbern, Ohio, December 24, 1865 and passed to the great beyond on March 31, 
1918, aged 52 years, 3 months and 7 days.

In the year 1889 the family suffered the loss of the mother and Betty being 
the oldest child took the mother's place in caring for the family. She also 
cared for her aged father through many years of sickness until death claimed 
him in the year 1906.

Betty was most loved by those who knew her best. She had been in declining 
health for a number of years. But in all her sickness she was a patient and 
submissive sufferer. Her life and its work have left a monument of faith 
patience and service for the home and community.

Sister Fix was baptized and confirmed in youth. But two years ago had her 
membership transferred to the Church of God, where she served faithfully to 
the end.

Despite the efforts and care of the family and friends death has claimed her. 
She has answered the Heavenly Father's call. There are left to mourn her 
departure, four sisters and one brother and a host of other relatives and 
friends.

Funeral services were held from ? Church of God Tuesday at 2 p. m. Interment 
at Edgerton, Ohio.
