Rev. John Reichard, of Fordwich, conducted the service and was assisted by Rev. Isaiah Wismer and Rev. Simon Cober. The pall bearers were grandsons of the deceased, with one exception. Those from distance were his sons, Noah and Ephraim, of Huron County, Michigan: Mr. and Mrs. Freeman Gingrich. Mr. Milton Gingrich, Miss Ella Gingrich, and Mrs. Davidson, of Tyneside; Mr. and Mrs. James O. Gingrich. of Flamboro: deceased's only brother and sister. Mr. Jacob S. Gingrich, and Mrs. Nancy Bretz, of Waterloo Township. were also present.
