She was converted at the age of 16 and united with the Mennonite Church, where she remained a consistent and faithful member to the end. On March 21, 1822, she was united in marriage with David Bachman who survives her, with 5 sons and 3 daughters; (Alvin, Albert, Roy, Rufus, Orie, Clara, Cora, and Etta) and 19 grandchildren. This gave her an opportunity to exercise true Christian motherhood's spirit of sacrifice and devotion which seemed to dominate her life. She also leaves 3 brothers and 4 sisters, 1 sister preceding her in death. During her later years she was a sufferer from several ailments which interfered with her church attendance and activities, but she bore it patiently without complaining.

As you always were before.". 1 1
