• Notes

  GINGRICH.-On the 11th of January 1904, at Red Deer, Alta., of pneumonia, Samuel S., youngest son of Pre. Jacob and Sister Elizabeth (Sherk) Gingrich, formerly of near Preston, Ont., now of Biglerville, Pa., aged 30 Y., 4 M., 19 D. He was ill only a few days and his brother, Jacob S., was the only relative with him at the time, although the best care and skill were not wanting. He had lived in Red Deer since March 1903 and had won the esteem of a large circle of friends. Several years ago he spent some time in Elkhart, Ind., where he was converted, baptized and received into church fellowship. Another brother, Dilman S., of Freeport, Ill., reached Didsbury, Alta., on the 14th in time to attend the burial there, a number of former Waterloo Co. friends having settled in that locality. Funeral service on the 14th at Red Deer were conducted by J. C. Forster, assisted by Canon Hinchcliffe, Dr. Gaetz and Dr. Herdman of Calgary. The funeral was largely attended. Funeral services on the 14th in the West Zion Mennonite M. H., Carstairs, Alta., by Israel R. Shantz from 1 Sam. 20: 3, latter clause, and by N.B. Stauffer from Rev. 22: 12. Besides his parents and the brothers named he leaves his brother Norman S., of Mishawaka, Ind., Enoch of Preston, Ont., and his sisters Mary Ann and Barbara of Biglerville, Pa. Lizzie (Jacobs) of Goshen, Ind., and Nancy (Hostetler) of Elkhart, Ind. Our sympathies go out to the bereaved family in the loss of their bright and promising son and brother in the far Northwest. God comfort them in their sorrow. HERALD OF TRUTH , Vol. XLI, No. 6, February 4, 1904 - pg 48
