She is survived by her husband and three small children (Helen, Frederick, and Ruth); also by her father (Deacon Noah S. Weber), her step-mother, three brothers, and three sisters. She accepted Christ as her Savior at the age of thirteen, at which time she joined the Mennonite Church, of which she was a member at her decease. Her cheerful disposition, fine Christian spirit, and her willingness to serve, will be greatly missed by everyone with whom she came into contact. Funeral services were conducted from their late residence at Waterloo, Ont., at the Mennonite church of the same place, and interment in the nearby cemetery, in charge of Bro. Jesse B. Martin, assisted by Bro. Jonas Snider. Bro. Martin delivered a very appropriate and comforting message based on the opening statement of I Peter 2: 7: "Unto you therefore which believe, he is precious." Bro. Snider spoke briefly from John 14: 4: "Whither I go ye know, and the way ye know." "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; Yea saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them"
