Mrs. Bleam united with the Mennonite Church in her early married life and her daily life in the home and elsewhere gave plenty of evidence of the fruits of a true devoted Christian life. She was very meek and humble in her manners, kind and gentle to all, and devoted to her home and loved ones. Hers was a life filled with hard work, much sorrow and many cares, but she never wavered in doing her duty and sacrificed health, mentally and bodily in her efforts to be faithful. She had been in very poor health for several years during which time she was tenderly cared for by her son, Albert and wife with whom she lived. She passed away at her home July 28, 1928; aged 76 y. 3 m. 19 d. She is survived by her three children: Albert, at the home; Arthur, of Grand Rapids; Mrs. Angeline Skedgill of Hastings; also ten grandchildren; two brothers, Davis Spaetzel of Saniac Co. Mich., Samuel Spaetzel of Buffalo, N. Y., and a host of other relatives and friends.

Sweetly rest, our dearest mother,
In the arms of Him who knows,
All the heartaches, cares, and sorrows,
That have been your lot here below.
Funeral services conducted by D. A. Yoder and Aldus Brackbill. Text, Psa. 23.
