  • Notes 
    • Schwartzentruber.--On Feb. 15, 1927, Leah, wife of Moses Schwartzentruber died in her home at Baden, Ont., after a short illness; aged 31 y. 3 m. She was the daughter of Christ and Annie Lichti. She was baptized and received into the A. M. Church in her youth. On Dec. 1, 1914, she was united in marriage to Moses Schwartzentruber. This union was blest with 1 son and 2 daughters. She leaves her husband, 1 daughter (Violet), 1 son (Elmer), mother, father, 1 brother (Willie Lichti) 1 sister (Edna--Mrs. Chris. Breneman), and one aged grandmother. One daughter and one brother have gone before. She was kind and generous to her associates. "A place is vacant in the home which never can be filled." We deeply feel our loss. But we have the sweet promise that some day we can meet again. Funeral services were held Feb. 18, at the home by Bro. Peter Litwiller, at the church by Bros. Dan. Lebold, and Dan. Steinman in German and by Peter Nafziger in English. Burial in adjoining cemetery.
