    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.

    Notes:

    Habermehl. - Barbara Ringler, wife of William Habermehl, was born Oct. 24, 1852; died Dec. 11, 1920, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Jacob Sauder, Breslau, Ont.; aged 68 y. 1 m. 17 d. She was afflicted with heart trouble for several months. Six days before her death bowel trouble set in and she suffered great pain, but bore it all patiently. She was fully resigned to God's will and longed to go home to be with Jesus. She leaves husband, 5 sons, 4 daughters, 38 grandchildren, 2 sisters, and 3 brothers. We rejoice in a hope to meet her again. Funeral services were held at the Shantz Church by Orphan Wismer and Manassah Hallman. Interment in the adjoining cemetery.

    "I'm going to live with the angels so fair;
    I'll look for you children and wait for you there,
    Where tears do not flow and where death cannot come,
    Together we'll dwell in that beautiful home."
    A daughter.
