Sister Affolter was the mother of seven children, four sons and three daughters, two of whom have preceded their mother in death. One of the daughters will be remembered by many of the Review readers as Sister Lilly Affolter, who was the author of our kindergarten Sabbath-school lessons which have been in use in our Sabbath-schools for the past fifteen years. Mother Affolter was a most devoted Christian, and was beloved by all who knew her. The funeral service was held in the College View church.
