CLEMMER - On the 9th of January, 1893, near Berlin, Waterloo Co., Ont., Bro. Abram C. Clemmer, aged 77 years, 3 months and 17 days. He was buried on the 12th in Eby's graveyard. Funeral services by Bish. D. Wismer at the home, at the meeting house by Bish. E. Weber in the German language from John 5: 24, 25 and Noah Stauffer in English from Rom. 6: 26. Bro. Clemmer was born in Montgomery Co., Pa., Sept. 17, 1815; in 1825 he came to Canada with his parents. He united with the Mennonite church in his youth and was ever a faithful member, serving for a long time as chorister of Eby's congregation. He also took a deep interest in Sunday school work, and as long as health permitted took an active part in the work. About six years ago he was affected by an epileptic stroke from the effects of which he continued to fail in health until about a year ago, when a second stroke brought on fostering of the brain, since which he has failed more or less rapidly until the Lord called him up higher. His constant trust in all his affliction, was in God and he waited patiently for the call that should free him from all that is mortal. He leaves a sorrowing wife, 5 sons and 3 daughters and many relatives and friends to mourn the loss of a devoted husband, a beloved father and an esteemed brother and friend^.

A highly esteemed and beloved citizen, Mrs. Adeline Hostetler, widow of the late Levi Hostetler, passed away last Saturday afternoon, April 26th, at her home on Jacob street in her 73rd year.

She spent her girlhood days there an following her marriage to Levi Hostetler she moved onto the Hostetler farm, a short distance east of New Hamburg.

Mrs. Hostetler was a faithful member of the Evangelical Church and was very active as a member of the Ladies' Aid and W.M.S. as well as other departments of church work.
Her husband died eight years ago, but she leaves in deep bereavement one grand-daughter, Miss Helen Hostetler, nurse-in-training at the Toronto General Hospital, her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Hilda Hostetler, besides two sister and four brothers, (Margaret) Mrs. Thaler, of Kitchener, (Clara) Mrs. Ed. H. Schmidt, New Hamburg, Eli and Adam Gabel, of New Hamburg, and William and Edward, of Kitchener. One brother, Spurgeon, died in Kitchener last August.
The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon with a short service at the house followed by service in the Evangelical Church. The service was conducted by Rev. Mr. Dengis, pastor of the church and a very large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends assembled to pay their last tribute of respect to the departed. Many beautiful floral tributes were sent by church societies and sympathizing relatives and friends. Internment took place in the family plot in Riverside Cemetery.
