Moyer. - James, son of the late Joseph and Catharine Moyer, was born in Lincoln Co., Ont., Feb. 13, 1860; died at his late home in Beamsville, Ont., Oct. 23, 1942, after a very brief illness; aged 82 y. 8 m. 10 d. He seemed to be in exceptionally good health in the past year, and his passing was a shock to all. He was married to Nancy, daughter of the late Menno Cressman, a minister of the Biehn congregation in Waterloo Co., Ont., May 23, 1893. She, with 2 daughters (Ida, Mrs. T. L. Graham, of Vineland, and Reta, Mrs. Wm. Cornelius, of Markham) and a son (Menno Moyer, of Blair, Ont.), mourn the loss of husband and father. He resided for many years on the farm pre-viously owned by his father, and later resided in the village of Campden, Ont. A year ago he moved to Beamsville. He was always active, and even after a severe illness which deprived him of the ability to walk he continued his activity by working in his garden and around his home. He was a faithful member of the Mennonite Church since 1890. For many years he represented the Mennonite Fire Aid Union for this district, and was also trustee for the Mountain Cemetery. In his earlier years he was active in the work of the Church -- in Sunday school and in young people's work, when the work of the Church had been revived through early evangelistic services. We shall miss his presence among us. Funeral services were held Oct. 26, 1942, in charge of S. F. Coffman, and assisted by the ministers, C. G. McPhee of the Disciple Church and S. R. McClung of the Baptist Church, both being near neighbors of Bro. Moyer, and Isaac Moyer of the United Church (a cousin of Brother Moyer). Text, Psa. 90: 12. Interment in Vineland Cemetery.

MOYER.-On the 27th of April 1898, near Campden, Clinton Twp., Lincoln Co., Ont., of inflammation of the lungs and other diseases, Joseph H. Moyer, aged about 74 years. He was the son of Samuel B. Moyer. He leaves a widow, two daughters and one son to mourn their loss. One son and three daughters preceded him. Many have been his afflictions in his days, a number of years ago he lost one arm by an accident in a threshing machine and endured other severe afflictions. Nearly three years ago he sustained a fracture of his leg in an accident with a sulky hay rake. He was confined to his bed over a year, but had recovered so far that he could walk a little with a crutch. In January 1898 he was stricken with inflammation of the lungs, of which it seemed he could not fully recover. Although his afflictions were many and severe, he bore them with patience and Christian fortitude and looked forward with a lively hope of the hereafter. He was buried at the Mountain M. H. on the 1st of May. A very large number of relatives and friends assembled to pay the last tribute of respect to a dear neighbor and friend. Services by J. F. Rittenhouse at the house and by Gilbert Bearss and Noah Stauffer at the meetinghouse. Peace to his ashes.

Where no farewell tear is shed."
