Notes - Kipfer.- Robert, son of Surranus and Lena (Lichti) Kipfer, was born at Clarence, N.Y., Feb. 8, 1926; died at the Kitchener and Waterloo Hospital Dec. 9, 1943, from complications resulting from a serious automobile accident he had in April, 1941. Since the accident his lower limbs were paralyzed and he remained an invalid. Bobby was of a cheerful disposition, very active, and optimistic. In spite of his serious injury he had hoped to be well again. Soon after the accident he accepted Christ as his Saviour and received baptism. He gave evidence that he enjoyed his Christian life and died with that assurance. Every effort was made to restore his injured body without avail. Although we cannot understand we recognize that God knows best and humbly submit to His will. He leaves his father and mother; also 7 brothers and 2 sisters (Harold, Kitchener; Wilbur, Chatham; Walter, Edward, Lester, James, Ray, Esther, and Marie at home). Funeral services were held, Dec. 12, 1943, at his late home in New Hamburg with further service at the Geiger Mennonite Church. Interment in the adjoining cemetery. Bros. M. H. Roth and C. C. Cressman had charge of the service.
