• Notes

  Bechtel.-Ruby Viola, eldest daughter of Owen and Melissa (Knechtel) Bechtel, was born March 28, 1915; died at the home of her parents in Waterloo Co., Ont., Oct. 25, 1939; aged 24 y. 8 m. 27 d. Her mother preceded her in death April 12, 1936. In her early teens she gave her heart to the Lord and joined the Latschar Mennonite Church, of which she was a faithful member until her passing. On her death-bed she gave a very bright testimony of her faith in Christ, and she had a triumphant home-going. She is survived by her grandfather (Noah Bechtel), her father and stepmother, 1 sister (Elsie, at home), 5 brothers (Leonard and Delfred of Cochran, Ont.; Clinton, Eldon, and Lloyd, at home), and a stepsister (Gladys Gingerich). Funeral services were held from her home, and then at the Latschar Mennonite Church, in charge of ministers Leslie Witmer, Lorne Schmitt, and M. S. Hallman. Text, John 11:25,26. Remains laid to rest in cemetery adjoining the church. November 16, 1939 - Vol. XXXII, No 33 - pages 719
