• Notes

  Stauffer.-Elizabeth, beloved wife of Norman B. Stauffer, who died at her late home near Aldersyde, Alta., on Aug. 25, 1914, was aged 42 y. 2 m. She leaves to mourn, besides many friends and relatives, a companion, 4 girls and 5 boys. But they need not mourn as those having no hope. May we all so live so as to meet those gone before who are over yonder beckoning us to come when we pass from this life into eternity. Buried at the Mennonite Church, Mount View. Services conducted at the house by Bro. Noah Weber of Carstairs, and at the church by N. E. Roth of Round Hill, text, II Tim. 4:6, followed by Isaac Miller. May God comfort the sorrowing ones.
