On the afternoon of Tuesday, August 21, 1860, at 2 o'clock, Mrs. Mary Kerlin Doebler fell sweetly to sleep in Jesus, from pure abatement of her natural force-she being old and full of days.
Born in Amity township, Berks county, amid the shouts of rejoicing and acclamations of gratitude and pleasure which burst from the lips of the colonists, at the repeal of the odious "Stamp Act" in 1766, had she survived until the 10th proximo she would have attained her ninety fourth year. Her father John Kerlin, was an Englishman, and widely known for the aid he rendered the "rebels" during the dark days of Independence time. The subject of this notice by the beauty of her person and refinement of her mind, won the affections of an accomplished and high minded officer of the British army, whom she married before she completed her sixteenth year. One daughter, Elizabeth, whose descendants are among the most respected, wealthy and numerous inhabitants of Berks County, was the result of this union. In 1785, several years after the war with Great Britain had been virtually closed; she married Major Abraham Doebler, a distinguished officer of the Revolutionary army. She lived with him for more than sixty-five years-he having gone to his reward in 1849 full of honor, and while in the eighty-third years of his age. Ten children were the result of this marriage, of whom three are still living. Having lived to see her great-great-great-grandchildren, or fifth generation of children, of whom there were four at the home of her decease, she had, of other direct descendants, upwards of two hundred.
Her birth happening just three years anterior to that of the great Emperor Napoleon, it will readily be seen what an illustrious cycle of time she was a witness of. A child of the Revolution; she died a mother of one of the proudest nations on the face of God's earth. She united herself with the people of God, when but a mere child, and having always dwelt in the secret places of the Most High, is at length at rest, abiding under the shadow of the Almighty. Last Friday afternoon she was buried out of sight forever by a large concourse of morning relatives and friends. Let us who survive her, and to who she was near and dear, emulate her bright and shining religious life and her devotion to the church of Christ, so that when we are called, our end may be as righteous and triumphant as hers.
