• Notes

  Mayer.--Lovina Mayer (nee Gascho) was born in Waterloo Co., Ont., May 31, 1890; died at the home of her parents, Christian and Leah Gascho, Nov. 22, 1916, at the age of 26 y. 5 m. 22 d. On Dec. 16, 1913, she united in marriage with Solomon Mayer of Pigeon, Mich., and lived well and happy until Aug., 1915, she took sick and was quite poorly at times. Feb., 1916, she was taken to the Bad Axe Hospital where she spent four long months, and underwent several operations. All through her sufferings she was always patient and had a smile for every one that came to see her and sang many a hymn on her bed of affliction. Her every day text was, "The Lord's will be done." On June 8 she was taken to her home and was slowly gaining, but as lung trouble set in she gradually failed. In November they moved to Canada, where she lived with her parents eight weeks and a half. She expressed herself many a time as willing and ready to meet her Savior. Although our hearts are sad we feel to praise God and rejoice that He has dealt so kindly with her, and has taken her to Himself where she so longed to go. She united with the A. M. Church when quite young and was a faithful member to the end. Before leaving her home in Michigan she longed to partake of the Lord's supper, which was served by Bishop Solomon Schwartzendruber. Funeral services were held at the A. M. Church west of Baden Nov. 25, conducted by Peter Boshart and Christian Litwiller. Text, Rev. 7: 13,14, Dan. 12: 2;3. "This lovely bud so young so fair, Called hence by early doom, Just came to show how sweet a flower In Paradise would bloom. Through all her pain at time she smiled, A smile of heavely birth, And when the angels called her home, She smiled farewell to earth."
