Death of Mrs. Leis

The death of Mrs. Leis, widow of the late Joseph Leis, occurred at the home of her son-in-law, Mr. Chr. J. Lichty, just east of Crosshill, on Thursday last, aged 76 years and four months. Deceased was one of the very earliest of residents of this section, coming here with her father, Mr. Kennel, who settled on the eastern border of Wellesley when she was a mere child. Since that time she has always lived here, and throughout her long and useful life she retained the highest respect of all. Besides a large number of descendants and relatives, Mrs. Leis leaves a family of thirteen children: Noah, John, Magdelene (Mrs. P. Jantzi), Chris., Jos., David, Daniel, Catherine (Mrs. C. J. Lichty), Menno, Barbara (Mrs. C. Gingerich), Jacob, Phronica (Mrs. N. Roth), and Solomon. These children are all living and settled in this neighborhood, and all of them attended the large funeral which occurred on Sunday last at the Mennonite Church, 3rd line.

In Memoriam. Died At Wellesley, on Monday, December 26th, 1938 Joseph Leis, Sr. Aged 86 years and 14 days. The Funeral Will be held from his late residence on Thursday, Dec. 29th, at 9.30 o'clock a.m., and proceed to Maple View A.M. Church, Third Line, for services. Burial in adjoining cemetery. How many were the silent prayers Our father offered up for us, How many were the bitter cares He felt when none but God could see. Well he is gone and now in Heaven He sings His praise Who died for him And in his hand a harp was given And he's a Heavenly worshipper. Oft let us think of what he said, And of the kind advice he gave; Oh let us do it as he's dead And sleeping in his lonely grave. And let us choose the path he chose, And he we soon again may see Beyond the world of sin and woes With Jesus in Eternity.

(Albrecht) Ropp was born in Wellesley, Ont., March 13, 1863; passed away in her home in Detroit, Mich., Jan. 5, 1944; aged 80 y. 9 m. 22 d. On Feb. 5, 1885, she was united in marriage to Joseph Ropp of Wellesley, Ont. To this union were born 10 children of which 3 sons (David, Mose, and Edwin) preceded her in death. Those remaining to mourn her departure are: Dan, Owendale, Mich.; Anna Dean, Dearborn, Mich.; Lead Ackerman, Elkton, Mich.; Adeline Kennel, Petersburg, Ont.; Emanuel, Bad Axe, Mich.; William, Detroit, Mich.; Ervin, Dearborn, Mich.; also her hus-band, as well as 17 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren, 2 brothers, 3 sisters, and many friends. Grandma united with the Mennonite Church at the age of 16 and was a faithful member until death. She and her aged husband lived together for many years, having celebrated their golden anniversary almost 9 years ago. Her sudden death, which came with but little warning perhaps will exaggerate the loneliness which her husband will experience, but as Christians we can always be comforted with the presence of the Lord. In Christ we have the promise and the hope of being at home in joy and peace. Funeral services were held at the home by Pre. Frank Raber and at the Pigeon River Church by Bros. Edwin Albrecht and Emanuel Swartzendruber. Interment in the adjoining cemetery.

Mrs. Christian Baechler

The grim reaper of death has taken another of our highly esteemed residents of this district when Mrs. Christian Baechler was called to her eternal rest on Tuesday of this week at the age of 64 years, 10 months and 21 days. The late Mrs. Baechler had not been in good health for several months, but a bad cold developed a few weeks ago and finally a paralytic stroke was the cause of her demise. The deceased was a resident of South Easthope for the past thirty-three years and she endeared herself through her Christian qualities in life to a wide circle of friends. She was an ardent and devout adherent of the Amish-Mennonite faith. The late Mrs. Baechler was a daughter of the late Christian Schrag and was born in Wilmot Township where she spent her youth. After her marriage to her now bereaved husband she lived for a few years on a farm on the 15th line of East Zorra and for the past 33 years resided on the farm in South Easthope, where she passed away. There are left to mourn her passing her sorrowing husband, one son and four daughters, besides 16 grandchildren. The children are Christian on the homestead, (Katie) Mrs. Peter Schultz, of Topping, (Veronica), Mrs. Sam Bender and (Susanna) Mrs. Peter Both, New Hamburg, and (Sarah) Mrs. Michael Jutzi, East Zorra. She is also survived by two brothers, Christian Schrag, of Zurich, Daniel Schrag of Leonardville, N. Y., and one sister, Mrs. Peter Both, of Wilmot. The funeral will take place this forenoon from her late home to the 16th line A.-M. church in East Zorra, followed by interment in the 19th line cemetery.
