• Notes

  Hunsberger. - Menno S. Hunsberger was born near Baden, Waterloo Co., Ontario; died near Cressman, Sask., July 13, 1908; aged 34 y. 5 m. Seven years ago he went West, and took up a claim in the Waterloo settlement, near Carstairs, Alberta. Two years later he was married to Lizzie Habermehl. To this union were born four children, two of which died in infancy. One and a half years ago he moved in the Mennonite settlement at Cressman, Sask. The past few years he has been ailing considerably, and the last few months grew weaker until the death angel relieved him of his sufferings from tuberculosis. He leaves a loving wife and two children, besides many friends. He was a devoted and faithful member of the Mennonite Church, which means much in "these last days." The burial services were conducted on the 14, and the body was laid to rest in the Sharon Mennonite Cemetery. The funeral services were held on the 15, by E. S. Hallman and David Garber. Text, Rev. 14: 13, assisted by Isaiah Rosenberger and D. N. Lehman. Gospel Herald - Vol. I, No. 19 - August 8, 1908 -page 303
