  MRS LAVINA NEAL

  Death's Summons Removes a Beloved Mother to Her Reward.

  The funeral of Mrs. Lavina Neal, nee Grove, took place Saturday morning,
  March 7th, 1908. The services were held at St. John's Lutheran church,
  Rose township, and were conducted by her pastor, the Rev. W.W. Frey.
  Interment was made in St. John's cemetery. Mrs. Lavina Neal was born
  September 3d, 1834, on what is now the Diener place in Rose township,
  and was 74 years, 6 months and 2 days of age at her death. She was
  united in marriage to Lawrence Neal 1855 and had lived ever since in the
  locality in which she died except for a few years at Summerville. Her
  husband departed this life about six years ago.

 
  The family consisted of five daughters and four sons all of whom survive
  except Esther, wife of Mr. Mayo, who died a few years ago. They are as
  follows: Mrs. Annie Zook, Connmaugh; G. W., Nebraska, Forest county;
  Mrs. Myrtle Kaiser, New York City; Carlton M., at home; Mrs. Edna Lee
  Frease, New York City; Oran, at home; Jesse, Loleta; Mrs. Jennie Kaiser,
  New York City. There are also one brother and two sisters of Mrs. Neal
  living. Mrs. Neal was widely and favorably known in the community in
  which she lived. She was a kind and helpful neighbor, always ready to
  lend assistance wherever needed. Her family life was marked by
  gentleness and love. She was a consistent member of St. John's church
  for more than 60 years-surely a- record of profession and faith which is
  noteworthy. Of a modest and retiring disposition, she was nevertheless
  faithful and earnest in her works and life as a true follower of Him who
  in her dying moments was her stay and assurance -.who was indeed for her
  "the Resurrection and the Life." - X.
