The Vindicator
May 1948
Mary Warner Mohler, daughter of David and Hettie Warner, was born June 24, 1861, near Covington, Ohio, and departed this life on May 6, 1948, age 86 yrs. 10 mos. and 12 days.
On November 20, 1879, she was united in Holy Matrimony with Joseph D. Mohler. To this union were born 3 children, 1 son and 2 daughters. They lived in the vicinity of Covington all their lives and were engaged in the occupation of farming until the year 1919 when they moved into Covington, Ohio. There her husband died on June 20, 1921, in the home where she has resided ever since that time.
She was baptized into the Old German Baptist Church in early life and with her husband was elected to the ministry in October, 1892, and was ordained to the full ministry, Nov. 1898. She was a mother to all and enjoyed company so much, especially those that came into her home, welcoming both young and old. She had a wonderful memory and loved to recall many instances and happenings of her life and of others, vividly portraying each little detail as if it had happened but yesterday. Her grandchildren and all her offspring were a special joy and comfort to her, and they loved to be remembered by grandmother.
For the past several years she had been in failing health and was cared for by different persons whose faithful ministrations were very much appreciated by her family. Several months prior to her death, she remembered the injunction of the Apostle James and was anointed with oil in the name of the Lord which gave her much comfort. She gradually grew weaker amidst her suffering and finally passed away due to the complication resulting from old age.
She leaves to mourn her departure, 1 son, Clarence Mohler, 2 daughters, Alice Royer and Lueffie Filbrun; 14 grandchildren, 22 great-grand children, 2 great-great-grand children; a brother Lee Warner, the last remaining one of a family of 10 children; besides a host of other near relatives and friends.
She chose the text and songs for her funeral and made other arrangements as much as possible but now she has passed on to that region where she had such a great desire to go in her declining years. We sorrow not as those that have no hope.
Funeral services were conducted in the Covington Church of the Brethren by the home brethren before a large gathering of relatives and friends. Text Rev. 14: 12, 13.; Songs, 491, 483, 494, 452, 334.; Burial in the Sugar Grove Cemetery, to await the resurrection morning.
