Additional: Mrs. Elizabeth Tobias, relict of the late John Tobias died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Mary Jacobs on Thursday, May 1, 1902, aged 85 years, 10 months and 27 days. Mother Tobias was born June 4, 1816 near Xenia, Greene County, Ohio. About the year 1835 she was united in holy wedlock to John Tobias and soon afterward the young couple moved to what was then the wilds of Auglaize county. Here they acquired a tract of virgin forest which by dint of hard labor they made to blossom as the rose. Her husband preceded her to eternity about eight years ago, since which time whe has been making her home with her daughter, Mrs. Jacobs, who tenderly ministered to her wants in her declining years assisted by her other children and grandchildren as opportunity offered. Mother Tobias was a faithful member of St. Mark's Lutheran church of Wapakoneta in which the funeral services were conducted by Rev. J.A. Frischkorn, follow by interment in the Keller cemetery in accordance wiith her oft expressed wish during her lifetime. Inasmuch as her husband was buried in the Haroff cemetery her children now propose to remove his remains and re-inter them by the side of his wife. Her descendents are thirteen children of whom six are living; sixty grand children of whom fifty-five are living; fifty six great grandchildren of whom forty-seven are living and one great great grandchild deceased. It will thus be seen that her descendants number one hundred and thirty. Mother Tobias was of a very affectioante disposition and when hardships surrounded her she never complained. Her loving disposition was reciprocated by the esteem in which she was held by all her children and grand children and by a large circle of friends. May she rest in peace is the prayer of those who dearly loved her. A grandchild.
