Biography

Roth.-Lena (Guth) Roth was born at Washington, Ill., Oct. 30, 1870; died at her home near Milford, Neb., Dec. 1, 1938; aged 68 y. 1 m. 1 d. She was married to Jacob Roth Jan. 21, 1897. She accepted Christ as her personal Saviour and joined herself to the Mennonite Church in her early youth, and remained faithful to the end. She was a devoted companion and a loving mother. To this union were born six children (Amos, Alvin, Arthur, at home; Clara Wyse of Wayland, Ia.; Sadie Hostetler of Woodriver, Neb.; Lester of Garden City, Mo.), all of whom remain to mourn her death. She also leaves her grief-stricken husband, 20 grandchildren, 3 brothers (Peter, Daniel and Amos of Peoria, Illinois), besides many other relatives and friends. Her father, mother, and 1 brother preceded her in death. Three months ago gangrene set in in her foot, which caused her much pain and suffering at times, but she bore it all patiently. Funeral services were held Dec. 4, at West Fairview Church, in charge of Wm. R. Eicher and Geo. Miller. Interment in cemetery adjoining the church.

"Peacefully sleeping, resting at last, Rest on, dear mother, thy labor is o'er; God called you home to suffer no more, Your willing hands will toil no more; A faithful mother, true and kind, No friend on earth like you we'll find."
