In early life he united with the Amish Mennonite Church and remained a faithful member till death. Though being afflicted with the disease for many years, he never complained. He often expressed himself, "The Lord's will be done." He was laid to rest Jan. 31, in Pigeon River Cemetery. Funeral services were conducted by Jacob Yoder and Sol Swartzendruber. Texts, Psalm 103: 14-16 and Matt. 25: 31-33.

      "However painful it may be,
      To know that he has gone;
      The thought is sweet that we may see
      Him in that heavenly home."
      A Niece.
