• Notes

  Bricker-Melissa Weber, beloved wife of Bro. Harvey Bricker of Alsask. Sask., was born Dec. 1, 1889, in Waterloo Co., Ont., died in the General Hospital, Calgary, Alta., March 20, 1926; aged 36 y. 3 m. 20 d. She leaves a sorrowing husband with a family of three duaghters (sic) and an adopted son.. Towards fall of 1925 she began to complain of not being well, and as there were no signs of improvement she was brought to the home of Bro. E.W. Bricker, Calgary, where for some time she was under the doctor's care. Later it was decided that an operation was necessary, which took place in the General Hospital, and for some time good hopes were held out for her recovery. She however took a turn for the worse and though many prayers ascended to the throne of grace in her behalf, she gradually became weaker and finally passed on to her reward. While under the hand of affliction she suffered considerably and frequently expressed a desire to leave the world and be with Christ. On March 21 a funeral service was conducted by E. Hansell at the funeral home of Foster & Foster, Calgary, after which the remains were brought to Aldersyde and from there taken to the home of Bro. T.E. Bowman on March 22 where the relatives of the departed sister met and a short service conducted by Bro. I. Miller and then taken to the Mt. View Mennonite Church for funeral service and burial. Services at the church conducted by N.B. Stauffer. Text, Jno. 16: 16, selected by Sister Bricker some weeks before her death. Bro. Bricker has the sympathy of a large circle of the brotherhood and friends who with him in humble submissiveness say, "Thy will be done."
