• Notes

  Royer. - Anna, daughter of Jacob and Barbara Snavely, was born at Schafferstown, Pa., Aug. 12, 1834; died at her home in Sterling, Ill., April 15. 1924; aged 89 y. 8 m. 3 d. She came with her parents to Illinois in 1855. She was married to George M. Royer Aug. 3, 1850. To them six children were born, five of whom survive. They are: Miss Tillie, Mrs. Mary Miller, John, Albert and Clayton., Sister Royer was a faithful and consistent member of the Mennonite Church. She lived the simple, true, Christian life. In her last days she often said that she felt that her work was done, and expressed a desire to depart and be with Jesus. The end came peacefully, and we cannot speak of it as death but rather as a "home-going." Her body was laid to rest on the 18th, when a large number of relatives and friends gathered to pay a last tribute of respect to one they had loved and known so long. The text used by her pastor was taken from Job 5:26, which very beautifully conveys the idea of the ripe Christian "garnered" as the choicest of the wheat. "There remaineth therefore a rest for the people of God." MennObits
