    Litwiller. - Moses Litwiller, son of Christian and Maria Litwiller, was born in St. Agatha, Waterloo Co., Ont., July 1, 1876 and died in Petersburg, Ont., Sept. 24, 1916; aged 40 y. 2 m. 24 d. He was married to Lydia Brenneman about 15 years ago. To this union were born 6 sons.
    Bro. Litwiller accepted Christ when a young man and united with the A. M. Church, and was faithful until the end. He was sick only three weeks. First he had enlargement of the heart, after which he got pneumonia. We thought he was getting better, then gangrene set in.
    Bro. Litwiller expressed hope in the home beyond and desired the services of the Word and prayer and the singing during his days of sufferings. We can hardly understand why he was taken. We miss him so much. We have lost him. Heaven has found him, and we know that everything God does is well done. May we all take comfort in the thought that he now rests in the Savior.
    He leaves to mourn his departure his wife, 6 sons, parents, 3 brothers, and 5 sisters; also many relatives and friends.
    Funeral services were held at the St. Agatha A. M. Church on Tuesday, Sept. 25, conducted by Bros. Chr. Kropf of Tavistock and Eli Frey of Archbold, O. Text, II Tim. 4: 7, 8, and Isa. 38, last clause of first verse. "Set thine house in order, for thou shalt die and not live." Interment in cemetery near by.

    Around your sick bed, dear brother
    We watched with our tenderest care,
    Through the weary hours you suffered,
    While our hearts were uplifed in rpraye.
    Your life work is ended, dear brother,
    Youíre with the loved ones gone before,
    May we all prepare to meet you
    On that bright celestial shore.
    By his sister

    Litwiller.--Chr. Litwiller was born in St. Agatha, Ont., Sept. 13, 1848; died of heart failure at his home in Petersburg, Ont., Aug. 27, 1924; aged 75 y. 11 m. 14 d. He had been in good health till about six months ago when he began to fail. Seven weeks before his death he had a desire to go to church and said, "It will be the last time" (which it also was), and after that he thought he wasn't able to go any more. He gradually got weaker and was bedfast for only five days. Bro. Litwiller united with the Amish Church when yet a young man. He was ordained to the office of deacon when yet in his twenties, and in the same year was ordained to the ministry, which place he filled whenever possible. He was married to Maria Miller, who preceded him in death three years on the day that he was buried. He leaves 7 children (Barbara, Jacob, Annie, wife of M. O. Jantzi, Samuel, Mary, wife of Jac. Mussselman, Lydia, wife of Irvon Block, and David). He also leaves 32 grandchildren, 5 great-grandchildren, 2 sisters, and 1 brother. We believe that father has gone to be with Jesus. May we all prepare our hearts to meet him. He was buried on Aug. 30. Funeral services were conducted at the house by Daniel Steinman and at the church by Dan Jutzi and Eli Frey. Text. "For what is your life?" Buried in adjoining cemetery. "Weep not for me, children, I have passed all grief and pain: But live and labor for Christ the Savior, That we may meet in heaven again."
