Notes

Ropp.--Edwin, son of Joseph and Barbara Ropp, was born in Waterloo Co., Ont., Feb. 9, 1900; died very suddenly at his home near Pigeon, Mich., June 19, 1913; aged 13 y. 4 m. 10 d. He had been bothered with his heart for some time, but was feeling well and had been helping his father all day; but about 8 o'clock in the evening, after he had his supper ate, he dropped dead almost instantly. His death came as a shock to the family and community. We cannot realize why such young souls in the bloom of life are snatched away, but the all-wise God knows what is best. "His will be done." He is survived by his sorrowing parents, 4 brothers, 3 sisters, and many relatives and friends.
Funeral services were held Sunday, June 22, at the Pigeon River Church by Bros. S. J. Swartzendruber and D. J. Shetler (texts, Matt. 24: 42-44; Jas. 4: 13-17) in the German language, and Bro. Peter Ropp of the Berne Church in the English language. Text, Gal. 6: 7-9. Interment in cemetery nearby.
