    • Burkholder. - Phares D., son of the late Abram G. Burkholder, was born near Markham, Ont., Sept. 1, 1877; died Mar. 19, 1928. In 1901 he married Laura L. Sherk of Breslau, Ont. He is survived by his wife, three sons, an adopted daughter, Florence, whose father was the late Bishop Norman Stauffer of Alberta, Man., four brothers, one of whom is Pre. L. J. Burkholder of Markham, and three sisters. A daughter pre-deceased him. He united with the Mennonite Church as a youth. He underwent an operation in 1915, after which his health improved but the last year and nine months found him confined largely to the house and much of the time to his bed. The last time he was permitted to be present at church for fellowship meeting he expressed himself as "having many things to be thankful for" even in spite of physical infirmities. He was buried in the Wideman Cemetery, services being conducted in the church adjoining by the brethren B. B. King and L. W. Hoover. Text, Jno. 14: 1-3.
