Jantzi of Wilmot Twp., Waterloo Co., Ont., who, with a daughter Shirley, mourn her departure. She was a devoted mother and faithful wife, interested pre-eminently in her home and the church. In her personal life she spent much time reading the Word of God. Funeral services were held Aug. 23 at the First Mennonite Church in Kitchener, Ont., in charge of Bros. B. B.
