"Graybill.-Sister Catharine Leitzel was born in Snyder Co. [sic.: Snyder County did not form until 1855], Pa., May 6, 1847; died May 5, 1903, of heart trouble, aged 55 Y., 11 M., 30 D.

She leaves a sorrowing husband, three sons, one daughter, five sisters and two brothers, beside many friends, but they need not mourn as those who have no hope.
