Classification: Obituary


Sheckler, Elizabeth (Hefflefinger) -- Died, at her home near Bellville, Richland County, Ohio on July 10th., 1890, Mrs. Elizabeth Sheckler, in the 70th. year of her age.
The maiden name of the deceased was Elizabeth Hefflefinger.
She was married to Frederick Sheckler on August 25th., 1849.
This union was blessed with eight children, but God has taken six to himself, while two sons, David and George, remain.
Mrs. Sheckler was not a member of any church, but the testimony of many of those who knew her is that she lived in the fear and love of God, and was often at the altar of God at prayer for strength to do her duty and God's will.
As a wife, mother and neighbor, she was kind and careful. And all who knew her learned to love her.
While never in robust health, she enjoyed life and endeavored to make those committed to her care happy and give them a cheerful home.
Her relatives and large circle of friends will mourn her demise and greatly feel her loss.
A home is now broken, a husband bereft of a loving wife and two sons and a loving mother.
May God comfort them who now mourn, and teach them to hold forever sacred the memory of her who though now dead yet speaketh.
The funeral was held from her late residence on Saturday, July 12th., at ten o'clock, conducted by Rev. W.L. Baker, of Bellville.
Music was furnished by the Bellville Presbyterian choir.
A large number of relatives and friends gathered to pay their last respects to the departed. -- [Richland Shield & Banner: 26 July 1890, Vol. LXXIII, No. 10]


Elizabeth is buried with her husband Frederick at the Sickinger Burying Ground, Richland County, Ohio
