  • Notes 
    • Eby.--Ervin Eby was born near Manheim, Ont., Apr. 19, 1903; died Mar. 25, 1911; aged 7 y. 11 m. 6 d. Death came very unexpectedly, to little Ervin. While playing with a rod at a shafting of a gasoline engine, he was caught by his clothes and whirled around at a high speed, causing instant death. We do not know why he was taken away so soon, but God knows best. He leaves to mourn his departure a sorrowing father, mother, 2 brothers, 1 sister, 2 grandmothers, grandfather, with other friends. Funeral services conducted at Latchaw's meeting house by Bro. Manasseh Hallman and Bro. Osiah Cressman. Remains were laid in cemetery near by.

      "Gone before to the golden shore,
      To be with angels fair,
      Much thou wast loved,
      God loved thee more
      Safe thou art in His care.
      "
