Drach
Hannah Frankenfield was born at williamstown, Pa., March 9, 1844, and
died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. B. F. Kutz, aged 65 years, 2
months and 4 days. On the 23 of December, 1865, she and Samuel Drach
were married and to them six children were born. They are: Mrs. C.F.
Kutz, Oscar Drach, Mrs. Johnston, whose home is near Mt. Vernon, Mrs.
Stabenow, Elmer and Charles, the two youngest being the only children
born in Iowa. In 1881 the family came to Iowa moving on a farm north
of Mt. Vernon where they lived for eight years. Then the family came
to a farm north of Mechanicsville where they lived until Mr. Drach's
death, which occured in January, 1898.
Whena girl Mrs. Drach became a member of the Evangelical church and
remained firm in the faith during her entire life. However, for a considerable
period of her life it was not possbile for her to attend the church
of her faith and she therefore attended the Methodist Church. Mrs.
Drach was a good neighbor and certainly a most devoted wife and mother.
Her final days on earth were days of pain and suffering, which she
seemed to accept as a manifestatio of Divine will and therefore not
to be questioned. She suffered in silence. Her death was peaceful,
and while a source of grief to her loved ones, it surely was ajoyous
release from suffering.
The funeral was held at the Presbyterian church Saturday afternoon,
Rev. Ewert conducting the services. Pioneer Press Mechanicsville.
Buried: Rose Hill Cemetery, Pioneer, Cedar County, Iowa
