Census: 1880, 1900 - Elk Lick Twp., Somerset Co., Pennsylvania

Obituary: Gospel Herald - Vol. XXXV, No . 23 - September 3, 1942 pages 494,495
"Maust. - Savilla, daughter of the late John and Matilda (Hershberger) Folk, was born at Springs, Pa., Nov. 21, 1858; and died at her home Aug. 16, 1942; aged 83 y. 8 m. 25 d. On Dec. 15, 1878 she was united in marriage to Simon L. Maust. They shared the joys and sorrows of home life a little over 55 years, when Grandpa was called to his eternal home. Grandma lived her entire life in the Springs community. For the past several years one of her grandsons made his home with her. She was in fairly good health for one her age, and on Saturday evening had studied her S. S. lesson, preparatory to attending Sunday school and church services the following day. When she did not arise at her usual time, she was called but did not answer. Then it was discovered that sometime during the night her soul had quietly slipped away to be with God. It seems that she never awoke from the sleep that came to her when she retired. She looked well to the ways of her household. On her tongue was the law of kindness, she worked willingly with her hands, and her children (grandchildren too) could arise and call her blessed. She was highly esteemed in the home, Church, and community, where she will be greatly missed. In these sunset years of life she often longed for heaven, where her husband, 2 sons, 1 daughter, and 5 grandchildren were awaiting her coming. She was also preceded in death by her parents, 4 brothers, and 5 sisters. Surviving are 3 sons and 1 daughter (Norman S. and F. Homer of Springs, Harry L. of Scottdale, and Mrs. Orpha Rodamer of Grantsville, Md.), also 17 grandchildren, 17 greatgrandchildren, and 3 brothers (Milton of Fredonia, Pa., Wilson and Christian of near Grantsville, Md.), besides many other relatives. She became a member of the Springs Mennonite Church in early womanhood, and remained a faithful member. She was always interested in her church and its activities, attending every meeting she possibly could. The services at the home were conducted by Bro. Newton Weber, and further services at the Springs Church were in charge of Bro. Roy Kinsinger and Bro. Weber. Text, Job 5:26. A large concourse of friends and relatives gathered to pay their respect to one who was loved by everyone. Her body was laid to rest in the adjoining church cemetery. A Granddaughter."
