Notes:

Bender. - Simon, son of Joseph H. and Mary Bender, was born near New Hamburg, Waterloo Co., Ont., in 1890; died at his home on Oct. 23, 1912; aged 22 y. A sister, brother, father, mother, and 2 grandmothers, with a host of friends survive to mourn his early departure. His last and only sickness, appendicitis, continued for only eight days when he was relieved by death. He bore his sickness with much patience and was resigned to the will of God. Previous to his death he said to his loving sister who was standing by his bedside that if she would see such a beautiful glory as he does she would not mourn. About four years ago he accepted Christ as his Savior, united with the A. M. Church and was a faithful member until his death. Is this not true as the psalmist says, "As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over and it is gone, and the place thereof shall know it no more" (Psa. 103: 15, 16). Funeral services were conducted at the East Zorra Church by D. H. Steinman and J. M. Bender. Interment at the 19th Line Cemetery.

YANTZI- Elroy R. Yantzi was born Feb. 8, 1925, in Wilmot Twp., Waterloo Co., Ont. At the age of 15 he accepted Christ as his personal Saviour and was received into church fellowship at the Amish Mennonite Church near Baden by Bishop D. S. Iutzi upon confession of faith and water baptism on Oct. 20, 1940. On May 31, 1941, he was struck by a car in the city of Kitchener and severely injured, from which he never regained consciousness. On June 2 he fell asleep as we hope and trust in Jesus at the Kitchener-Waterloo Hospital; aged 16 y. 3 m. 25 d. He, the only child, leaves to mourn, his bereaved parents, Noah and Susan Yantzi, and many relatives and friends.

"Short and sudden was the call,
The voice we loved is stilled;
The place made vacant in our home
Can never more be filled."
