Obituary 2

Angeline, daughter of John and Eliza Ault, was born in Preble county, Ohio, December 16, 1846, and moved with her parents to Miami county, Indiana, in 1848. She was the second child of a large family of children and much of the care of the younger brothers and sisters devolved on her, which task was faithfully performed. In her latter years she took delight in pleasing little children by presenting them with substantial gifts. Miss Ault died November 21, 1914, aged sixty-seven years, eleven months and five days. She leaves two sisters, three brothers and numerous other relatives and friends to mourn her departure. She joined the Church of the Brethren December 30, 1895, and has lived a consistent Christian life ever since and died in a living faith that she should reach the Celestial City, which is the reasonable hope of all who do the Master's will. The funeral took place at the church of the Brethren at Mexico, Indiana, Tuesday and was attended by a large concourse of sympathizing friends. Services conducted by Elder Irvin Fisher, assisted by Frank Fisher.

Two obituary texts for the same woman were preserved together in the bible; both are transcribed as submitted. The first is signed by Bertha I. Fisher of Mexico, Indiana. The two texts state her surviving siblings in different order (three brothers and two sisters vs. two sisters and three brothers); both statements are preserved verbatim.
