The Funeral Will be held from his late residence, Wellesley, on Sunday, December 13th, at 1 o'clock p.m., and proceed to the Maple View Amish Mennonite Church, Third Line, Wellesley, where services will be held. Interment in adjoining cemetery. Why should our tears in sorrow flow, When God recalls his own, And bids them leave a world of woe For an immortal crown? Is not e'en death a gain to those Whose life to God was giv'n? Gladly to earth their eyes they close, To open them in heav'n. Their toils are past, their work is done, And they are fully blest: They fought the fight, the vict'ry won, And enter'd into rest. Then let our sorrows cease to flow God has recall'd his own; And let our hearts in every woe, Still say - "Thy will be done!"

Services in the church after interment. Friends and acquaintances will please accept this intimation. The bosom where oft I have lain, And slept my infant hours away, Will never beat for me again, "Tis still in death! 'tis senseless clay. How many were the silent prayers My mother offered up for me, How many were the bitter cares She felt when none but God could see. Well, she is gone, and now in heaven, She sings his praise, who died for her, And in her hand a harp is given, And she's a heavenly worshiper. Oft let me think of what she said, And of the kind advice she gave; O let me do it, as she's dead, And sleeping in her lowly grave. And let me choose the path she chose, And her I soon again may see, Beyond this world of sin and woes With Jesus in Eternity.

    Death of Mrs. Leis

    The death of Mrs. Leis, widow of the late Joseph Leis, occurred at the home of her son-in-law, Mr. Chr. J. Lichty, just east of Crosshill, on Thursday last, aged 76 years and four months. Deceased was one of the very earliest of residents of this section, coming here with her father, Mr. Kennel, who settled on the eastern border of Wellesley when she was a mere child. Since that time she has always lived here, and throughout her long and useful life she retained the highest respect of all. Besides a large number of descendants and relatives, Mrs. Leis leaves a family of thirteen children: Noah, John, Magdelene (Mrs. P. Jantzi), Chris., Jos., David, Daniel, Catherine (Mrs. C. J. Lichty), Menno, Barbara (Mrs. C. Gingerich), Jacob, Phronica (Mrs. N. Roth), and Solomon. These children are all living and settled in this neighborhood, and all of them attended the large funeral which occurred on Sunday last at the Mennonite Church, 3rd line.
