• Notes

  Schiedel.-John Henry Schiedel, son of the late Menno Schiedel and Mrs. Schiedel, Breslau, Ont., passed away at his home in Baden, Ont., March 6, 1944, in his 58th year. He was born near Breslau, March 24, 1886. In his early twenties he was converted and united with the Cressman Mennonite Church in Breslau. In 1921, he and his family moved to a farm near Petersburg, Ont., and he transferred his membership to the Latschar Mennonite Church. On Jan. 25, 1911, he was married to Edna Schmitt of Centreville, who survives him. He also leaves to mourn his passing, 2 sons (J. Earl, Bridgeport, Ont.; and Lloyd H., Nanaimo, B. C.), 2 daughters (Ruby, wife of Orrie Litwiller, Baden; and Audrey, at home). Also his aged mother, one brother (Allan), and a sister (Mrs. Jacob Randall), all of Breslau. A son John died in infancy. Bro. John was a devoted Christian and always had a ready testimony for his beloved Saviour and Lord. He was a comparatively young man, but had gone through a great deal of suffering, especially during the last few years of his life. While much attached to his family, yet because of his intense suffering, he had a great longing to go home and be with his Lord and Saviour. He had a great interest in lost souls, which became very evident in his last illness when he was constantly testifying to the saving power of Christ. The funeral was conducted at his home in Baden, March 10, by the brethren M. S. Hallman and Michael Roth, and at the Cressman Mennonite Church at Breslau by brethren Oscar Burkholder and Lorne Schmitt. Interment was made in the adjoining cemetery. "Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding O'er the spoils that death has won, We would, at this sad bereavement. Calmly say, 'Thy will be done.'"
