Notes - Reesor - John B. Reesor was born near Markham, Ont., in 1859 and died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. George Cober, near Almira, Ont., after a lingering illness of 6 months, on May 18, 1943, in his eighty-forth year. In 1882 he was married to Angeline Moyer, who predeceased him in 1918. To this union were born 4 daughters. Annie, Mrs. Geo. Cober; Ludina, Mrs. John Drudge; Mary, Mrs. Oscar Burkholder; Martha, Mrs. J.C. Fretz; who, with 17 grandchildren, 8 great-grandchildren, and a host of relatives and friends mourn his departure. Bro. Reesor was ordained as a deacon in the Mennonite Church in 1895 and served faithfully until age and infirmity made it wise to relinquish his duties. When he realized that he could not serve as well as formerly, he called for help and another brother was ordained to carry on the work. He was a man of sterling character, honest and upright in all his dealings, a kindly husband and father, and a real testimony to the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ. The funeral was held on Friday morning, May 21, from the home of his daughter, Mrs. Geo. Cober, to the Wideman Church, near Markham, for services and the adjoining cemetery for burial. Brethren Fred Nighswander, Alvin Winger, and Jos. Cober conducted the services at the house, and the Brethren Abram Smith, Amsey Martin, and Ben. Good, Orrville, Ohio, conducted the services at the church and the grave. Texts: II Tim. 4: 6-8; Josh. 1: 1, 2.
