AMELIA (TAYLOR) CLEVELAND LININGER, 15 Dec 1832 - 06 Aug 1901

   Amelia Taylor was born in Marion county, Ohio, on the 15th day of 
December, 1832.  Died at her home in Otsego township, August 6th, 
1901, aged 68 years, 7 months and 11 days.
   She moved with her parents to Steuben Co. Ind., in the spring of 
1840. Was married to Fredrick Cleveland on the 31st day of December, 
1850, and to this union were born seven children of which three, 
Ansel Cleveland, of Milford, Kansas, Mrs. Frank Deller and Mrs. 
Francis Lininger, both of Steuben county remain.  Fredrick Cleveland 
died Feb. 15th, 1864.  She was then married to John Lininger on the 
23(?) day of April, 1865.  To this union were born four children; 
but one, Mrs. Elmer Rinehart, remains.  John Lininger died July 28, 
1898.  Besides these children, three step-children, nineteen grand-
children, three great grand-children, a brother and a host of 
friends and neighbors are left to mourn their loss.
   She united with the Methodist church about 30 years ago and 
remained a faithful member until death.
   She called the family to her bed-side bidding them good-bye, told 
them she was going home, and asked them to meet her in heaven.  Well 
might we say with one of the good writers of old, "She hath finished 
her work.  She hath done what she could."  Funeral by A. G. Neal, at 
South Scott church.
