Barbara E WYSE

(1 Sep 1867 - 26 May 1945)

Graber.--Barbara E., daughter of John F. and Marie (Graff) Wyse, was born in Fulton Co., Ohio, Sept. 1, 1867; departed this life at the home of her son Wyse, Stryker, Ohio, May 26, 1945; aged 77 y. 8 m. 10 d. When she was six months old her parents moved to Henry Co., Iowa, where she grew to womanhood. On Feb. 7, 1889, she was united in marriage to Peter Graber, of Stryker, Ohio, in which community they shared the joys and sorrows of life for nearly fifty-seven years. This union was blessed with four sons and four daughters. One daughter (Bertha) preceded her in death at the age of four years. In youth she accepted Christ as her Saviour and united with the Mennonite Church, remaining a faithful member until death. Only July 7, 1939, she broke her leg, which caused her much suffering. Then a few years later she developed a spinal infection, which again subjected her to intense pain and kept her bedfast for many months. However, she recovered sufficiently to sit up and go about in a wheel chair. Finally, about seven weeks ago, she again broke her let. She seemed to be recovering from this too, but a week before her death gangrene set in both limbs. She suffered intensely and prayed often that the Lord might take her home. She was a loving and devoted mother, deeply concerned about the spiritual welfare of her family, and counted no sacrifice too great for those she loved. Her cheerful and kindly disposition won for her many friends, who by their thoughtfulness helped make her shut-in days more cheerful. She will be greatly missed by her loving companion for whom she often read because of his failing eyesight. She also leaves 7 children (Ira, Verna--Mrs. John Fielitz, and Wyse, of Stryker; Mina--Mrs. Fred L. Wyse, Mt. Pleasant, Iowa; Chauncey, Archbold, Ohio; Zela--Mrs. J. E. Nofziger, Wauseon, Ohio; and Archie, a missionary in Congo, Africa, whose long absence of nearly nine years created in her a great longing to meet him once more on this earth if that were God's will), one brother (C. F., West Unity, Ohio), 2 sisters (Mrs. Anna Peterson and Maude Wyse, Mr. Pleasant, Iowa), 25 grandchildren, 8 great-grandchildren, and many other relatives and friends. Three grandchildren also preceded her in death. Funeral services were held at the Lockport Church, May 29, conducted by E. B. Frey and Walter Stuckey. Text, Rom. 8:18. Interment was made in the church cemetery.
