In 1875 she was married to Jacob Erkman.  To them eight children were born.  Mr. Erkman died August 13, 1908.

Mrs. Erkman has lived in various parts of the country until about nine years ago, when she came to her home east of Enfield, where she has since resided.

By her kind disposition, firm character and generous heart she won the love and confidence of all who knew her.  Mrs. Erkman was a member of the German Evangelical church, but later transferred her membership to the church at Bethel.  Her illness was long and fraught with much pain, but she was more than conqueror through Him in whom she trusted.  She died the last hour of May, 1913; she began the new month in heaven.

She is survived by one sister, Mrs. Henry Harre, of Carmi, ten children, 21 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren.  Her age was 77 years, 10 months and 1 day.

She is not dead but she closed her eyes

To open them in Paradise.
