• Notes

  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."
