He was always interested in the welfare of the church and served as trustee for 17 years. He was a kind and loving companion and father, a tender friend to all, and will he greatly missed. Funeral services were held at the St. Jacobs Mennonite Church on Feb. 10, in charge of Bro. Roy S. Koch. Interment was made in the Conestoga cemetery. Calm and peaceful he is sleeping. Sweetest rest that follows pain; We who loved him, sadly miss him. But trust that we may meet again.
