  Steinman.-Leah Schwartzendruber, beloved wife of Noah Steinman, was born May 13, 1864; died at Baden. Ont.. May 11, 1920; aged 55 y., 11 m., 25 d. Sister Leah united with the A. M.

Interment took place on the 14th at Steinman's Church and cemetery, followed by a long concourse of mourning friends and acquaintances. She leaves her grief-stricken husband, 3 sons, 1 daughter, 1 foster-daughter, and 1 sister. Sister Leah came to her death while busily engaged with her husband in her garden, burning some rubbish. Bro. Noah, who is very feeble after an attack of influenza, went to the house for a few moments rest, and was aroused by her screams, hurried so her assistance and found her in flames. Her burns proved fatal after five days' suffering. Sister Leah was resigned to the will of God. Funeral service conducted by M. S. Zehr of Pigeon, Mich., and Eli Frey of Wauseon, Ohio, Text, Amos 3: 6. There's a shadow in our home now. There's a voice that's hushed and still, There's a Mother's face that's missing, And a place no one can fill. How she longed to see her Jesus And to clasp him to her breast! Farewell, mother, how we miss thee, But we know God's ways are best." The bereft. Gospel Herald - Volume XIII, Number 10 - June 3, 1920 - page 190 ___________________________________ Mrs. Noah Steinman, of Baden, who was seriously burned through her clothing catching the hot burning rubbish last Thursday, succumbed to the terrible burns on Tuesday. From the outset little hope was held out for her recovery. Her death has caused widespread regret among a large circle of friends.
