To this union were born four children, two of which died in infancy. One and a half years ago he moved in the Mennonite settlement at Cressman, Sask. The past few years he has been ailing considerably, and the last few months grew weaker until the death angel relieved him of his sufferings from tuberculosis. He leaves a loving wife and two children, besides many friends. He was a devoted and faithful member of the Mennonite Church, which means much in "these last days." The burial services were conducted on the 14, and the body was laid to rest in the Sharon Mennonite Cemetery. The funeral services were held on the 15, by E. S. Hallman and David Garber.

Abraham Hunsberger, died at his home in Waterloo Ont., Oct. 28, 1912; aged 78 y. 7 m. 23 d. He was married to Elizabeth Sherk April 1, 1862. To this union were born 12 children, of whom 5 preceded him to the spirit world, leaves to mourn his departure, a widow, 7 children and 11 grandchildren. In 1892 he was ordained to the office of deacon, in which calling we believe he was faithful with the talent given to him, until four years ago, when he thought he could not perform his duties any more, on account of feebleness, so asked for some one to be ordained in his stead, which was granted unto him. Funeral services were conducted at the Waterloo Church Oct. 30, by Bro. Jonas Snider in German from John 5: 24, 25 and in English by Bro. Noah Stauffer from Heb. 4: 9-11. He was buried at the David Eby cemetery. Peace to his ashes.
