• Notes

  On the 21st of January, in McPherson Co., Kansas, Sister MARY BRUNDAGE, aged 62 years and 4 months; buried the 23rd. Services by John Evers in English from Heb. 11: 13-16, and by Henry Gartz in German from 2 Cor. 5: 11. Mother Brundage has been a sister of the Mennonite Church for more than 40 years. She lived in the bonds of matrimony 38 years, being a faithful wife, a kind and devoted mother. She leaves a husband and 4 children to mourn their loss; five children having preceded her to the spirit world. On Thursday she was taken with a congestive chill, suffering severe pain, which she bore with Christian fortitude until Friday morning, when she calmly fell asleep in Jesus. She did not expect to get well, having a presentiment of her death in a dream a few nights previous, in which it was told her that she would not live till Sunday. In her death the church has lost a faithful member, a bright and shining light, possessed of a meek and quiet spirit, and loved most by those who knew her best. An aged consort mourns his loss, But his loss is her gain; And he too soon may meet her On the bright and golden plain. Her children too will sorely grieve When of her death they hear; But if they only faithful prove They'll meet her over there. And in the church we miss her, When we together meet; We feel we have sustained a loss As we view her vacant seat. We need not mourn without a hope, For here she served the Lord, And now she's only gone before, To reap a rich reward. Oh may the Lord our souls sustain, While here the race we run, And always give us grace to say, Father, they will be done! Margaret Heatwole. 1aHerald of Truth March 1876 pg 46
