• Notes

  GINGRICH. - Lauretta Rachel, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Snyder, was born in Wilmot Twp., Ont., Aug. 11, 1886; died in the K-W Hospital, Kitchener, Ont., Sept. 8, 1945; aged 59 y. 28 d. On June 10, 1917, she was married to Abram S. Gingrich, who survives. She also leaves 3 daughters (Isabel, Mary, and Ruth), one son (John), 2 brothers (Zenas, New Hamburg, Ont.; and Oscar, Shoal Lake, Man.), and 2 sisters (Mrs. Edwin Gable, of Kitchener; and Mrs. Walter Hofstetter, Plattsville, Ont.). She was converted in her youth and united with the Bean congregation. When the family moved into the Breslau district in 1926 she united with the Cressman congregation. She was faithful in church attendance and, though her closing years were attended with much suffering, she unwaveringly retained her faith in her Lord and Saviour. Frequently she expressed her desire to go to her heavenly home. Her wish has now been graciously realized and we believe she is present with Christ, who gave her such an abiding hope and consolation. Funeral services were held at her late home and at the Cressman Church, Sept. 11, by the pastor, Oscar Burkholder. Text, Ps. 23: 4.
