... Anna Inebenit, daughter of Ulrich and Matalena Wise Inebenit, was born in the land of the towering Alps in Wildersweil, Canton of Berne, Switzerland, October 30, 1842, and departed this life at the old homestead in Jackson township, Wood county, Ohio, March 21, 1928, aged 83 years, 4 months, and 21 days. When a small child, she came with her parents to America. They started from the Swiss Fatherland in the month of February and reached their destination at Findlay, Ohio in the month of June, thus completing a tedious and perilous journey on land and sea of nearly five months. This being in the year of 1844, she grew to womanhood in Hancock county and on February 19, 1865, she was united in marriage with Samuel Anton Buhler, who also came from Switzerland in 1850. He died in California, December 28, 1897, while visiting a brother in that state. In her early life, Mrs. Buhler espoused the christian faith and became an honored and active member of the German Reform church at McComb. In her decease the last of a family has passed to the great beyond.
She leaves to mourn one son, Samuel D., who occupies the old homestead near Deshler, Abraham and Noah having preceded her in death some years ago; also three daughters, Mrs. Ella Richardson, Mrs. Emma Ford and Clara Wolford; Mrs Sarah Carr and Mrs. Mary Aldridge having also crossed the great divide. Beside the immediate family the deceased has left a posterity of twenty-eight grandchildren and twenty-four great-grandchildren.

Funeral services were conducted from the U. B. church at Deshler at 2 o'clock, Friday, with M. E. Kruse officiating, and burial was made in the cemetery at McComb, Ohio with Rader and Spangler as morticians.
