• Her obituary was published in the Rochester Sentinel on 25 December 1896 in Rochester, IN.

¹ Julia Ann Ensminger was born in Pennsylvania, July 11, 1812, and died at the residence of Mr. & Mrs. Charles Jackson, in Rochester, Ind., Dec 22, 1896, aged 84 years 5 months and 11 days.

On the 28th day of May, 1829, she was united in marriage with Christopher Ernsperger Wayne county, Ohio. They moved to Sandusky county, Ohio, in 1840. Several sons and daughters were born to them of whom are F. M. [Francis Marion] Ernsperger, B. F. Ernsperger, Mrs. [Catherine] Chas. Jackson, Mrs. [Maria] Samuel Keely, Mrs. [Melissa] A. J. Davidson, Mrs. [Cordelia]Dr. Nafe, Mrs. Bates, and Mrs. [Caroline] Aaron Beery.

In 1868 they moved to Fulton county, Ind., and lived on their farm until 1872, when they moved to Rochester, where the husband and father died June 16, 1877.

Since that time Grandma Ernsperger lived comparatively alone until the past two or three years she has made her home with Mr. & Mrs. Chas. Jackson.

The deceased was one of America's noble women -- a model wife and mother, a beloved neighbor and friend and a characteristic Christian, being a member of the Methodist church for sixty-six years. For some years she was quite helpless because of her age and infirmities and death came as a messenger of mercy while sitting in her chair.

The funeral services will be conducted at the residence tomorrow afternoon at 2:15 by Dr. C. A. Brooke.
