Roth. -- Bertha, daughter of the late John and Lydia (Shantz) Wyse, was born near Wayland, Henry Co., Iowa, July 12, 1874; departed from this life at the Henry Co. Memorial Hospital at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, Nov. 15, 1949; aged 75 y. 4 m. 3 d. Death resulted from a heart attack. As a young girl she became a Christian, uniting with the Sugar Creek Mennonite Church, of which she remained a faithful member throughout her life. On July 29, 1892, she was united in marriage to Jacob G. Roth, who predeceased her Nov. 16, 1947. They lived in the Wayland, Iowa, community all but one year, when they lived in Wayne Co., Ohio. In 1929 they retired from farming and moved to town. Two sons (Irvin Jay and Emery Leon) died in early childhood. Surviving are 3 children (Mina Amanda - Mrs. C. L. Graber, and Verna Mae - Mrs. Melvin Gingerich, both of Goshen, Ind.; and Arthur W., Orrtanna, Pa.), one brother (Amos, who lived with her at Wayland), 11 grandchildren, 4 great-grandchildren, and many other relatives and friends. She was next to the oldest in a family of five children who were left orphans at an early age. Two brothers and her only sister predeceased her. She was a loving mother and a kind, friendly neighbor, interested in the work of the church, having served as Sunday-school teacher for years. She delighted in the work of the sewing circle and in the fellowship of friends. Funeral services were held at the Sugar Creek Mennonite Church Nov. 17, in charge of Simon Gingerich and Willard Leichty. Interment was made in the cemetery near the church.
