      A lifelong resident of the village of Petersburg passed away last Thursday, March 4th, in the person of Joseph Schwartzentruber at the age of 78 years. He had been ill for some time, but pneumonia set in which was the cause of his death. The deceased was born in Petersburg and spent his whole life there. He was a faithful adherent of Amish-Mennonite Church and was highly esteemed among his fellowmen. Since the death of his wife 22 years ago he made his home with his son, John. The deceased leaves a family of four daughters and three sons, namely, Mrs. J. Underwolod, Petersburg, Mrs. S. Erb, Strathcona, Sask., Mrs. C. Salzman, Mrs. D. Brenneman and Mrs. Joseph Ramseyer, of Kitchener, John S. Schwartzentruber, Petersburg, E. Schwartzentruber, Kitchener, and Rev.
