• Notes

  Hunsberger.- On Aug. 19, 1904, in Waterloo Twp., Waterloo Co., Ont., Bro. Ira Hunsberger, son of Abraham and Elizabeth Hunsberger, of appendicitis, aged 21 Y., 10 M., 3 D. He was sick at the B. & W. Hospital only a few days, when the death messenger came and thus ended the lifework of a faithful young brother in the Mennonite church. May the Lord comfort the sorrowful family who mourn, but not as those who have no hope. Ira is at rest. Funeral services were conducted by Bish. Daniel Wismer at the home and at the Waterloo Mennonite M. H. by Jonas Snyder and E. S. Hallman. Texts: John 11: 28; 1 Cor. 13: 12. Herald of Truth, Vol. XLI, No. 37, September 8, 1904
