    Groh. - Lovina Bechtel, beloved wife of Anson Groh, was born Dec. 1, 1860; died Aug. 15, 1932; aged 71 y. 8 m. 14 d. At the age of 21 she was married to Anson Groh, in the neighborhood of Preston, Ont., where she resided until her death. To this union were born 6 boys and 5 girls. One of the girls, Elsie, died at the age of 18 years, 18 years ago. The others are Herbert, Mabel, Melvin, Norman, Mrs. Mennon Snyder, Esther, Mrs. David Lehman, Oscar, Ivan, and Harold, lately ordained minister and Sup't. Of the Mennonite Mission, Toronto, Ont. There are also 26 grandchildren. Sister Groh has one brother living (Noah Bechtel of Blackie, Alta.), 1 sister and 3 brothers having preceded her in death. She became a Christian during the series of meetings conducted by Bro. J. S. Coffman of Elkhart, Ind., about 45 years ago. Of her 44 descendants, only one preceded her. All her children, we trust, are serving the Lord whom she loved. She expressed faith that it was well with her soul, and that the Lord would accompany her "through the valley of the shadow of death." She is survived by the families of seven Christian homes, besides the one in which she lived. On March 4, the family celebrated the 50th or golden wedding anniversary. Funeral services were held at the Warner Church, near Hespeler, Ont., conducted by S. F. Coffman and S . M. Kanagy. Text, II Cor. 5: 11. Interment in the cemetery nearby.

    Notes:

    Snyder.-Clifford Anson, son of Menno and Ida (Groh) Snyder, Kitchener, Ont., was born Oct. 24, 1914; passed away April 10, 1947; aged 32 y. 4 m. 17 d. His death, caused by a cerebral hemorrhage, occurred aboard ship en route to Argentine, where he and his family were going to serve on the mission field. Early in life he became a Christian, was baptized on Dec. 20, 1925, and soon prepared for Christian work. He served as a Sunday-school teacher and later as superintendent of the intermediate department, and was active in young people's activities. After his regular school course he graduated from the Ontario Mennonite Bible School; took post-graduate work; graduated from Toronto Bible College; took two years' work at Goshen College, and graduated from there in 1946. On June 26, 1943 he was married to Doris Swartzentruber, who survives. Also surviving are 2 children (Margaret Anne and Arnold), his parents, 4 sisters, and 2 brothers. On Aug. 20, 1944 he was ordained to the ministry, and from February to October, 1946 he served at the Mexican Mission in Chicago. While waiting to sail, he assisted at the First Mennonite Church in Kitchener. He was a consistent Christian, thoughtful, and deeply spiritual with a fine co-operative spirit. He worked well with both old and young. His early passing does not stop the onward march of his works, for "their works shall follow them." The example and witness that he gave remain; his enthusiasm still kindles other fires. Memorial services were held at the Kitchener Church, April 27, with Roy Koch, J. B. Martin, J. D. Graber, John Kehl, Merle Shantz, and C. F. Derstine taking part. The sermon, "Divinely Directed Life Is Not Abbreviated!" was based on John 11: 8-11. His body was buried at sea, near the equator.
