Seven children, four of whom live in Grand Rapids, one in Missouri and another here, nine grandchildren and three sisters and four brothers, all of Ohio survive the deceased.

Mrs. Ernsberger was a very hard working woman, patient and long suffering. She was a very devoted mother. From childhood to the time she came to Michigan she was a member of the English Lutheran Church. On coming to Michigan she joined the United Brethren church because her church had no congregation in reach of her. For the same reason she joined the M. E. Church South on going to Missouri. In 1902 when she returned to Michigan she joined the M. E. church from where she goes to the church triumphant.
