Two brothers and 1 sister, with her parents, also preceded her to the great beyond. In her youth she accepted Christ as her personal Saviour and united with the A.M. congregation of Wilmot, remaining a faithful member until death. Her health had been failing somewhat for nearly two years, but she was able to do her work, never com-plaining. They had been to church together on Sunday morning, went home and had a meal as usual, and while taking some things down in the cellar she fell down unconscious. Inside of twenty minutes her spirit had taken its flight. Our loss is her gain. Funeral services were held Aug. 19 at the home by Bros. Elmer Swartzentruber and Ben Gingerich, and at the church by Bros. M. O. Jantzi and Peter Nafziger.

He was up and around as usual, but he was suddenly stricken with paralysis shortly before noon and passed away about one o'clock. In his death there is removed from this sphere a man of outstanding virtues, having lived a life of true Christianity. Endeared to a very large circle of friends through his pleasant, kind and unselfish ways, his many deeds of neighborly kindness will never be forgotten and his memory will be revered.

For many years he farmed on Bleams Road, but for the past nine years lived retired in town. The late Mr. Roth was born near Baden on April 2^nd, 1852, and thus reached the age of 79 years and 2 months. He was thrice married.
