was called to his eternal reward at the age of 73. In 1854 the young couple moved from Pennsylvania to Illinois, locating for a brief time in the town of Naperville, later moving on a farm three miles north of the town where
for 49 years the family has resided. two of whom preceded father and mother to the spirit world. There remain to mourn the departed mother, six sons and four daughters, thirty-two grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren, five sisters and two brothers,
besides a large circle of friends. Mother Fey was a devoted Christian mother. She endeavored to raise her children in the fear of the Lord. The family altar was never forgotten; as a result the children are all professing Christians. May there be a happy reunion
by and by in the glory world. Rev. C. A. Fuessle, of the Salem church, assisted by Rev. E. S. Woodring
