    Notes:

    Cressman - Mary Ann (Snyder) was born June 6, 1872; passed away Dec. 4, 1934; aged 62 y. 5 m. 28 d. On March 12, 1895, she was married to Noah M. Cressman. To them were born five sons: Lloyd, Melvin, Zenas, Orlin, and Elam. In her passing she leaves a sorrowing husband, 4 sons, 3 daughters-in-law, 7 grandchildren, 2 brothers, 2 sisters, and a host of friends. One son (Orlin) preceded her in infancy. Always of a quiet retiring disposition, her influences for good went far beyond the community and her very sudden demise will make her sadly missed by all who knew her. While death came as a thief in the night, she being ill only a few hours due to a stroke, she yet left a testimony on her death-bed that she was resigned to the will of the Lord, and is now in His presence. She is "not dead, but sleepeth." Funeral services were held from her late residence near New Hamburg, Ont., Dec. 7, followed by services at the Biehn Mennonite Church, with interment in the adjoining cemetery. Brethren Moses H. Shantz, and Curtis C. Cressman had charge of the service.

    "Dearest Mother, thou has left us;
    Here thy loss we deeply feel;
    But 'tis God that hath bereft us,
    He can all our sorrows heal."

    Notes:

    Cressman. - Lloyd S., son of Noah M. and Mary Ann (Snider) Cressman, was born near New Hamburg, Ont., Aug. 2, 1896; died Oct. 7, 1942, at his home in New Hamburg, following a severe heart attack two days previously. He accepted the Lord Jesus as his Saviour in his early youth and became a member of the Biehn congregation, remaining faithful to the Mennonite Church until the Lord called him to Himself. Aug. 2, 1939, he was united in mar-riage to Gladys Snider. This union was blessed with 3 children (Mary Enid, Ruth Evelyn, and David Lloyd). These with his sorrowing com-panion survive his early passing. His aged father and 3 brothers also survive. His mother and 1 brother predeceased him. Why the Lord should call from our midst one we felt was so much needed, both in the home and in the Church, we cannot know here; but we will be resigned to Him who in His love and wisdom has taken our brother to Himself. At the time of his death he served as superintendent of the junior department of the Sunday school and helped pioneer the summer Bible school movement from its beginning in this section, having served as a teacher continuously. He also had the general interests of the Church at heart, having an intelligent and sympathetic under-standing of her problems. He gave unstintingly of his time and effort on several conference committees, and served credibly in this work. He also was much concerned about the spiritually neglected rural fields of Ontario, his business giving him wide acquaintance through the province. Natural ties have been broken, and we sorrow but not as those who have no hope, for Brother Lloyd had assurance of eternal life and our memories of him will ever be an encouragement to us. The funeral services were held Oct. 10 from his late residence in New Hamburg, with a service at the Biehn Mennonite Church, where interment was made in the cemetery beside the church where he had worshiped and served. Bros. M. H. Roth, C. F. Derstine, and C. C. Cressman assisted in the service.
