About a year ago a cancer started on his tongue which caused his death. At times he suffered great pain, but he bore it all very patiently, never complaining. He is survived by his wife, 3 sons, 5 daughters and 8 grandchildren, all of whom live in the immediate vicinity except Miss Effie Shantz who is at Denver, Colo. Funeral services were held at the Pleasantview Church, near Hydro, Okla., conducted by Bros. John Slagel and Alva Swartzendruber. Interment was made in Mennonite Cemetery.
