• Notes

  Weber - Sister Minnie, wife of Jeremiah B. Weber, and daughter of the late Jacob Betzner, was born Dec. 15, 1871, near Breslau, Ont.; died of sarcoma, at her home near Cressman, Sask., March 20, 1909; aged 37 y. 3 m. 9 d. She was sick the greater part of a year with great suffering, which at times caused her to cry out loud to God for help, for grace, and if it is His will for deliverance. She longed much to go and be with her Savior. She leaves a loving husband and one child. Her sister, Eliza, nurse, from La Junta, Colo., came to her bedside several months ago and ministered much comfort and consolation. Funeral services were conducted by the brethren, Isaiah Rosenberger and E. S. Hallman. Text, Rev. 21: 4; 7: 9. Laid to rest in the Sharon Mennonite Cemetery.
