• Notes

  Reier - Sister Agnes, wife of Bro. Reinzie Reier, after five months of illness, passed to be with the Lord on the evening of Dec. 13, 1934. She was born in Waterloo Co., Ont., Sept. 19, 1887, and had reached her 48th year. She was a member of First Mennonite Church, Kitchener, Ont. She is survived by her husband, 1 son (Eldrid of near Kitchener), 3 daughters (Erma, Alice, and Doris, all at home), her mother (Mrs. Barbara Shantz of Waterloo), 3 brothers (Clayton Shantz, Troy, N. Y.; Lorne Shantz, Waterloo, and Clarence Shantz of Detroit, Mich.), and 1 sister (Mrs. John Lichty of Waterloo). She was a consistent Christian, dying in the gracious assurance of the Gospel. She was an interested mother in the welfare of her home. Her interest in the Church was constant. For many years she was caretaker of the Church building. This brought her into contact with the many activities of the church. Thus she was well known. She will be missed in the home and circles beyond, especially for her cheery disposition, in spite of clouds, keeping that steadfast gaze and trust in God. May the Lord sustain, and guide the family in spite of their great loss. The services were in charge of the pastor, Bro. C. F. Derstine. Theme, "The Inescapable Appointment" (Eccl. 8: 8). Bro. Manasseh Hallman, a former pastor, assisted in the service. All services and burial at the First Mennonite Church. Gospel Herald - Vol. XXVII, No. 40 - January 3, 1935 - page 851, 852.
