October 12, 1916 - The Van Wert Daily News: Susan Boroff, daughter of Samuel and Leah Boroff, was born October 23, 1847, and departed this life September 23, 1916, aged 68 years and eleven months. She was married to Joseph Wolery, March 28, 1867, who preceded her in death, February 26, 1911. They were blessed with nine children, two of which had long since departed this life, while seven are left to mourn the loss of a kind and loving mother. They are, Mrs. G. R. Hays and Harry Wolery, of Mendon, Mrs. H. C. Waltz and Mary Longsworth, of near Van Wert, Avery Wolery, of Findlay, Ray Wolery, of Converse, and Charley Wolery, of near Elgin. She also leaves nineteen grandchildren and one great-grandchild, four sisters, seven brothers and a host of friends to mourn her departure. She had been a patient sufferer, having been confined to her room for months, but always cheerful and waiting the coming of her Lord. She had been for years a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, at Elgin, having been baptized in youth. Since the death of her husband, five years ago, her health had been such that she was deprived of the public church services, but most of the time praying at home, sometime spending almost the entire night in prayer. As life came to a close she said, "I am all right, I am ready," and a few hours later quietly passed away. Though we now do part, thy loving words are with us ever more, thy precious, loving words; thy hand and heart and earnest soul of love are here impressed for us a dear memorial through all time. Mother we can not recompense thy love, but they reward is sure, for thou hast done thy duty perfectly and we rise up and call thee blessed, and the Lord shall give thy pious cares and labor rich reward. Funeral services were held at Tomlinson, Tuesday at ten-thirty, under the direction of Dick and Lutz, undertakers. Services conducted by Rev. Gottschall. Tomlinson Cemetery.
