"Gnagey.-Eva J., daughter of the late Jonas and Barbara (Miller) Maust, was born Dec. 26, 1857 near Meyersdale, Pa.; died Feb. 5, 1937, at her home in Pigeon, Mich.; aged 79 y. 1 m. 9 d. On Nov. 25, 1883, she was united in marriage with Daniel E. Gnagey who preceded her in death 11 years. To this union were born 7 boys and 3 girls of whom 3 preceded her in death (Nannie, Lloyd, and Melvin), 22 grandchildren (and 2 by adoption) of whom 6 preceded her in death, and 1 great-granddaughter. Those left to mourn her departure are Ada and Amelia at home, Simon of Pigeon, Elias of Bay Port, Mich., Joseph of Wellman, Jonas of Parnell and Howard of Kalona, Iowa. She was the oldest of a family of 13 children of whom 2 preceded her in death. Five brothers and 5 sisters remain (Joseph of Pigeon, Mich.; Joel, Lewis, and Mary of Meyersdale; Simon and Mrs. D. D. Otto of Salisbury, Pa.; Mrs. Jacob Gnagey of Stryker, Ohio; Mrs. Daniel Yoder of Iowa City, and Mrs. Henry Yoder of Kalona, Iowa; and Jonas of Leesburgh, Ind.). She had a lingering infirmity for many years which she bore very patiently. She contracted a cold about a week before she died. This weakened her already weak condition. She never caused any trouble any place, to our recollection. She accepted her Savior in her youth and remained faithful till death. She had a desire to go to her long home. Funeral services were conducted in the Pigeon River Church by Mike S. Zehr (Text, Dan. 12 :1, 2) assisted by Noah Zehr of Newhaven, Ind. (Text, Heb. 9:27). Burial in church cemetery.
"Dear mother, thou art no more here,
But for thee we have no reason to fear;
If thy loving admonitions we live out
We'll meet thee in heaven without a doubt.""
