Rachel Ann Vandyke was born June 13, 1846 in Beaver township, Noble county, Ohio about one mile north of the home in which she resided at the time of her death, which occurred Saturday, February 22, 1902. At the age of 18 she was united in marriage with George W. Wyscarver. These two bravely fought the battles of life together for eighteen years when the devoted husband was called to rest. The latter was treasurer of Noble Co. Mrs. Wyscarver was left with seven small children of whom six survive her, viz: Mrs. J.H. Long, of near Kennonsburg; Sherman Wyscarver, of Pittsburg, Pa; Mrs. W.V. Brague, of Clarington; Mrs. G.W. Layman, of Batesville; Carlton Wyscarver, of Barnesville; and Odessa, at home. At the age of 18 she was converted and united with the Lutheran church at St. John. She lived a quiet, consistent Christian life never losing her faith in her Savior. As a wife, she was faithful and devoted, and as a mother, she was always kind and loving. Her example was worthy of emulation. She had no fear of death. Her last words to her children were "Live right." She expressed herself as being ready if it was the Lord's will. She had been a sufferer for twenty-five years, but her last illness was about two weeks. The postmortem examination showed hardening of the liver and spleen and movable kidney. All was done that could be done by willing and loving hands, but in vain, for it was the Lord's will to take her home. The funeral was conducted on Monday, February 24, at 10 o'clock, at the home, by Rev. Wykoff, and her body was laid to rest beside her late husband in the Wyscarver family cemetery. Thus a noble life was ended, another spirit returned to God who gave it. A wreath of Carnations was contributed by the family and flowers by Mrs. Clark Ball.

She was buried on 24 February 1902 at Wyscarver Cemetery, Beaver Twp., Noble Co., OH, Findagrave #197286132.

Edna Vanica Buchholzer, 95, passed away peacefully on Jan. 6, 2008 at the Hospice Care Center on Ridgewood Road after a courageous battle with Parkinson's Disease.

Born on Sept. 10, 1912, in N. Lewisburg, Ohio, Edna moved to Akron with her parents at the age of 4. She graduated from North High School, and began working at Polsky's Department Store in the bookkeeping department. Edna's gifts were many, but her musical talent as a violinist was the foundation on which she "threaded" her life. She joined an all girl orchestra "The Colleens" at age 20. Edna met her future husband, Wendell, while attending North High.

A devoted wife and beloved Mother, Edna and Wendell raised three daughters, Wendy, Karen and Julie. She was a 50 year member of Westminster Presbyterian Church. She continued to follow her love of music, sharing her talent by performing in the Akron area. Edna was a guest violinist and played for Gertrude Seiberling at Stan Hywet. She also performed for the Tuesday Musical Club. When her children were grown, Edna began a career as Activity Director at Middlebury Manor Nursing Home where she remained for 33 years. Edna was a member of the Akron Pops Orchestra from 1969-2000. In recent years, she was a strolling violinist at the Akron Civic Theater for the American Heart Association. Edna led by example, her optimism, "zest" for living and compassion for others, all helped to define her character. She will be deeply missed by her family, and lovingly remembered by those whose lives she touched.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Wendell; daughter, Wendy; sister, Juanita; and brother, Sumner. She is survived by her daughter, Karen Buchholzer Stevens; son-in-law, Thomas Stevens; daughter, Julie Buchholzer; granddaughter, Jenna Stevens Lietke; and great-grandson, Keaton Thomas Lietke.
