GRODY. - On the 30th of June, in Perth Co., Ont., Daniel Grody. He was born in the state of Pensylvania*, in 1816. In 1830 he came with his parents to Canada. In 1839 he was married to Elizabeth Wilfang, with whom he lived in matrimony over 50 years. He was the father of fourteen children. He leaves a widow and twelve children, 30 grand-children and 2 great-grandchildren. he suffered severely for about five months with dropsy, though he bore it all with great patience, for he had peace with God. Several days before his death he said to his family that he could already see the beautiful road he was to go: he saw the door of heaven standing open. He also saw the beautiful city of Jerusalem gleaming in its beauty. Also many other testimonies he had that his soul was in peace with God. So we need not mourn as those who have no hope, but feel assured that he is at rest. He was a member of the old Mennonite Church, and was buried on the 2d of July at the Hamstead meeting-house. Services by Tob. Bowman and Noah Stauffer, from Rom. 5: 1.
