• Notes

  Mrs. Noah Gingrich, 84, of Elmira, died Saturday, March 5 at Elmira Private Hospital after a lengthy illness. The former Ida Musselman, she was born in Woolwich Township, Oct. 30, 1875, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Musselman She was a member of the West Montrose United Church. Surviving are her husband, two daughters, Mrs. Clayton (Susie) Miller of RR 2, Elmira, and Mrs. Nelson (Marg) Sugg of Winterbourne ; four sisters, Mrs. Clara Irving and Mrs. Mary Lowry of Toronto and Mrs. W. J. Garner and Miss Minerva Musselman of Port Dover. There are 12 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. One son, Sylvester, died in 1952. Two brothers and thee sisters also predeceased her. The body was at the Dreisinger Funeral Chapel, Elmira, until Tuesday at 1 p.m. when removal was made to West Montrose United Church for the funeral at 3 p.m. Rev. Donald Badger officiated. Burial was in the adjoining cemetery. ____________ The home of Mr. Noah Gingrich has recently been visited by repeated and severe affliction. A few weeks ago occurred the demise of his little daughter Selinn, a child of more than ordinary promise, and last week the mother died from pneumonia just in the prime of life. The little boy was also very ill, but is now, we are pleased to hear, considered out of danger. Miss Musselman, a trained nurse and graduate of one of the Toronto hospitals, was in attendance and rendered most valuable service. But it seemed as if all wise and infinite love was drawing the mother's spirit to that bright eternal home where faith, hope and love are forever triumphant. Those hands, so swift and skilful in ministering to the needs of others, are now at rest; that mind, so faithful, true and wise in building up and caring for her peaceful home on earth, now joins the spirits of the elect in the wondrous home of many mansions. Her remains were interred in the U. B. cemetery here on Monday forenoon, when a large number of friends paid a last tribute of respect to her memory. Rev'ds Gench and Ibbot conducted the funeral service in English, and the Mennonite pastor, Mr. Gingrich, gave a very earnest address in German. Earth has many a revered place of rest, but none more sacred than a mother's grave.
