ANNIE MILLER BEACHY BLAUCH

  Annie Miller Beachy Blauch, daughter of Henry and Rebekah (Wiley) Miller, was 
born in Garrett County, Maryland, June 19, 1862, and passed away at her home in 
Aurora, Ohio, March 13, 1941, at the age of 78 years, 6 months and 14 days.
  January 25, 1885, she was united in marriage with Jonas C. Beachy, who passed 
away September 4, 1914.  Mr. Beachy was an invalid for more than five years.  A 
son and an adopted daughter died at the ages of nine and eleven in 1895 of 
dipheria.
  April 1925 she was united in marriage with Elias K. Blauch.
  She is survived by her husband, one daughter, Mrs. Harry Walker (Orpha), 
Salisbury; six grandchildren, four sisters, Elizabeth Miller, Salisbury; Mrs. 
Mattie Spears, Sharon; Mrs. Alice Speicher, Accident, Md., and Mrs. Minnie 
Armstrong, Gaithersburg, Md., one foster son, William E. Gnagey, Meyersdale; 
eight step-children, twenty-two step-grandchildren, two step-great-grandchildren 
and a host of other relatives and friends.
  On September 10, 1878 she united with the Church of the Brethren and remained 
a faithful and active member until her death.
  By her ability, generosity, and spirit of good will she became a much loved 
member of the family at Aurora and a respected member of the community.  Her 
love for boys and girls and her great concern for their welfare and happiness 
endeared her to her grandchildren, all of whom were greatly devoted to her.  Her 
memory is enshrined in the lives of all who knew this gracious woman, who gave 
herself so freely to others.
