The time must come to every individual life for the curfew to toll the knell of parting day. The weary one must cast aside his mortal toil, with all the activities incidental to terrestrial life, the time must come for earth to recede and fade away into endless oblivion and for an endless eternity to be conquered by a ceaseless immortality. All of this is plainly verified, time after time as in the seemingly untimely passing of a mother and loyal wife, neighbor and citizen of the community in the person of Mrs. Anna Mae Minnich.

Ann Mae Minnich, the fourth youngest daughter of Marion and Anna Wolfe, was born in Brown township, Paulding county, Ohio, August 18, 1885, and departed this life Friday evening, June 9, 1927 at her home in Liberty Center, aged, 41 years, 9 months and 15 days.

The first few years of her life were spent in Paulding county, Ohio, but at the age of fourteen she with her parents, brothers and sisters, moved to a farm in Washington township, Henry county, Ohio. On May 20, 1901 she was united in marriage to O. R. Minnich of Liberty Center. The rest of her earthly life, excepting a few months in Oak Harbor, Ohio, was spent in Henry county, Ohio.

She leaves to mourn her departure, a loving husband, Mr. O. R. Minnich, four sons and three daughters, namely, Melvin M. Minnich, Doris I. Stratton, Marion J. Minnich, Orville T. Minnich, Annabell L. Minnich, Roslyn Jean Minnich, and Norma Mae Minnich. Besides the above mentioned she leaves her mother, Mrs. Anna Wolfe, of Oakwood, Ohio, three brothers and four sisters, Elmer and William Wolfe of Oakwood; Alfred Wolfe of Rice, Ohio, Mrs. Melva Harmon, of Oakwood, Mrs. Vinnie Bowers of Petaluma, Cal., and Miss Eva Wolfe, at Oakwood. Her father, a brother and sister having preceded her to the Great Beyond, where life is eternal. Besides the immediate family, the deceased leaves a countless number of other relatives and friends.
