He united with the Church in May, 1891. His quiet, consistent example, as a brother and Sunday school teacher, was appreciated by the loved ones and many friends. While the family felt keenly the absence at the funeral of Bro. Elvin and his wife in South America, they were somewhat comforted to know he had received the message announcing his father's death and were able to have word again from Elvin on the day of the funeral, the cablegram reading as follows: "Deeply grieved to hear the sad news. Accept sincere sympathy. We condole with you in our mutual and great loss. See word of comfort in II Tim. 1: 10. We continually remember you in our prayers." Funeral services were conducted at the home by Bro. Newton S. Weber, followed by Bro. S. F. Coffman. Bro. Weber spoke briefly at the church on Dan. 12: 3, after which Bro. Jonas Snider preached the funeral sermon. Text, I Cor. 15: 54. Remains laid to rest in cemetery adjoining Breslau Church, where the services were held.

"Another sheaf of gold the angels garnered in,
Another soul with Christ doth rest fore'er from grief and sin,
Another beckoning hand to call His loved ones home,
Another life in memory lies-through deeds of love well done."

SUDDEN DEATH\emdash It is with feelings of sorrow that we have this week to record the death of Mr. Benjamin Rudy, a highly respected farmer in this neighborhood, which sad event took place suddenly took place suddenly and unexpected at his home near here early on Wednesday morning of last week. Mr. Rudy had been in his usual health the day before, and that night went to bed with the intention of getting up very early next morning to continue his seeding operations. Towards four o'clock next morning his wife was awakened by his heavy irregular breathing, and striking a light she found him in a dying condition. She did all in her power to make him comfortable but he died in less than ten minutes after she was up.

Dear reader here is a case for reflection. A strong man yet in the prime of life apparently in the best of health, certainly in the best of spirits, plans out his work for the morrow, retires early, sleeps soundly until within half an hour before the time of rising when he is suddenly summoned before a higher tribunal, and a few broken and unintelligible sentences in answer to the anxious inquiries of his wife, a few convulsions in mortal agony and all is over and this in less than a quarter of an hour and before any of his children who sleep under the same roof could be called to his beside. COM.

Sister Snyder was a faithful and active member of the Mennonite Church at Breslau, the greater part of her life. She was well known for her kindness to those in need, and was intensely interested in the spiritual welfare of those that she befriended. But her interest in the Lord's cause was not confined to her home community alone. Many are the testimonies that might be given by those who came from other parts of the United States and Canada, who not only enjoyed her hospitality, but were also encouraged to be faithful in the Master's work. Funeral services were conducted at the house by Bro. J. S. Woolner, and at the church by Bros. Jonas Snyder and Oscar Burkholder.
