Funeral services were held today at the Milford A. M. church with Rev. Schlegel officiating. Burial was in the church cemetery.

"At the age of 17 years he gave his heart to Christ, was baptized and united with the Amish Mennonite church. In this faith he remained true until death. His health has been failing for several years and his only desire was to be removed to his Heavenly home. "On the third day of December, 1882, he was united in marriage to Veronica Ernst. In the year 1886 they moved from Canada to Holt county, Nebr., where they lived until 1916. In 1916 they moved to Milford.
