Elizabeth Catherine ABBOTT, daughter of Strawder and Elizabeth Jane ABBOTT, was born in Liberty township, Fulton County, Dec. 21, 1857; entered celestial life at her late home northwest of Fulton, Aug. 29, 1935, aged 77 years, 8 months and 8 days. On January 17, 1878, she was united in marriage with Franklin E. KOCHENDERFER, in a ceremony in which the late Rev. William WILDERMUTH officiated, at the home of her parents, near Mt. Olive. It is worthy of note that their marital union continued in happy accord for almost fifty-seven years, until the scythe of time severed the brittle thread in the hour of dissolution. To their union two daughters were born, Bertha Olive [ABBOTT], wife of Albert Newton CLEMANS, and Perley A. E. [ABBOTT], passed to higher life in infancy. Surviving are her husband, daughter, one brother, James T. ABBOTT, of Rochester, two grandchildren, Herschel CLEMANS, Atlanta, Georgia, and Dee L. CLEMANS, at home, also three great-grandchildren, at Atlanta, and many relatives and friends. Mr. and Mrs. Kochenderfer were distinguished as pioneer citizens of Fulton county, having established their home close to the present habitation, when it was their province to engage in reduction of the forest and transform the primitive to the modern cultivation of today. Their days were numbered by measure of filial love and steadfast confidence until the present sorrow fixed the end of their temporal marital journey. It was the knowledge of friends, neighbors, relatives, that the home life of Mrs. Kochenderfer, her charity and benevolence, was eloquently attested by the constancy and respect of many devoted friends, for no unkind criticism was uttered by her for any person. The deceased was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, having united with that denomination at Mt. Olive, under the ministration of the late Rev. ROSS, and was baptized in that faith on Sept. 18, 1892. To that conviction she clung with unfaltering trust to the end. That her transition was that of sublime peace, a joyful reunion with arisen kindred in a glad "good morning" greeting, must be conceded as just reward for her daily walk in Christian faith. Funeral obsequies were conducted in Fulton United Brethren Church, Saturday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock, Rev. Harley W. FRANKLIN, of Decatur, Ind., in charge. Interment at Salem cemetery.
