      ________________________

      Wismer. - Daniel E. Wismer was born in Lexington, Ont., Jan. 31, 1860; died at the Kitchener-Waterloo, Ont., Hospital on Wednesday, Sept. 5, 1934, after a brief illness; aged 74 y. 7 m. 5 d. He resided in Kitchener the past 18 years. In 1878 he was united in holy matrimony with Theressa Geckel who predeceased him ten years. This union was blessed with one daughter, Mrs. I. K. Roos; two sons, Albert and Harry, all of Kitchener, Ont., who survive; and Daniel, who passed away eight years ago. Bro. Wismer was converted in May, 1932, and became a faithful member of the First Mennonite Church, Kitchener. He frequently confessed that he knew his sins were forgiven and that he was saved. In every home he visited he left a testimony for Christ. The last night he lived he prayed most of the night, and continually asked the good Lord to take him home. The funeral was held at the First Mennonite Church on Sept. 7. Text I Cor. 15: 49. Ministers, Jesse B. Martin and Oscar Burkholder.
