      _____________________________________


      On the 25th of Jan., in Waterloo co., Ontario, Catharine Kolb, aged 86 years, 8 months, and 4 days. She was buried on the 28th by which occasion funeral addresses were delivered by the brethren Daniel Wismer from Rom. 12: 11. and Joseph Hagy from Ps. 39: 5,6. We cherish the good hope that, if we remain faithful, we may meet her again with Jesus, where she was longing to go.
