Gerber - Lucinda, daughter of the late John and Catherine Troyer, was born near Walnut Creek, Ohio, Oct 15, 1865; departed this life very suddenly at the close of a communion service at the Walnut Creek Mennonite Church, April 7, 1946; aged 80 y, 5 m, 22 d.

In her youth she united with the Walnut Creek Church and remained faithful until death.

On Sept 1, 1889, she was united in marriage to Oliver Gerber.

This union was blessed with six children.

One child and one grandchild preceded her. Surviving are her husband, 5 children (Verba - Mrs John Kendal, Millersburg, Ohio; Orpha - Mrs Elmer Gerber and John, Sugarcreek, Ohio; Lloyd and Mrs Minnie Miller, Shanesville, Ohio), 15 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren, and the following half brothers and sisters; Harvey Troyer, Ironton, Ohio; Joseph, Edward, and Emanuel Troyer, Kokomo, Ind; E A Troyer, Middlebury, Ind; Dr George Troyer of Puerto Rico; Mrs Nora Shrock, Amboy, Ind; Mrs Mattie Hershberger and Mrs Emma Horner, of Kokomo; and Simeon Kendal of Pennsylvania.

She was a devoted mother and grandmother, always very much interested in the welfare of her family.

She had been in failing health for a number of years, but made no mention of not feeling well when they left home to attend church. We cannot help thinking that it was a providential coincidence that she was permitted to complete her communion with her household of faith and join the communion of the heavenly host the same day.

Funeral services were held April 10 at the Walnut Creek Church, in charge of Paul R Miller, A W Miller, and Venus Hershberger. Interment was made in the church cemetery.
