• Notes

  RUFERT. - Bro. Henry Rufert was born in Waterloo Co., Ont., Feb. 27, 1860; died at his home near Mayton, Alta., Feb. 11, 1918; aged 57y. 11m. 11d. In 1880 he was united in matrimony to Fannie Hambling. To this union were born 11 children, one preceded to the spirit world. He leaves to mourn his departure a loving wife, 4 sons, 6 daughters,, and 12 grandchildren. About 14 years ago he united with the Mennonite Church and always expressed a desire to do the Lord's will. He was about his work in the usual health and after partaking of a hearty dinner, walked to his bedroom where he dropped over dead. This brought very forcibly to our minds the teaching of Christ, "Be ye therefore also ready, for at such an hour as ye think not, the Son of man cometh." Funeral was held at the Mayton Mennonite Church, conducted by J.K. Lehman. Burial in the Mayton Cemetery. Gospel Herald - Volume X, Number 49 - March 7, 1918 - Page 903 ___________________ Going Westward (in April, 1900) The G.T.R. Station was a scene of activity last Tuesday morning.
