Sister Helen was received into the Church, with the rest of the family, in 1907, being a faithful member of the Church until the end.
Again we are reminded of the uncertainty of life. One has left us who was just starting out in the duties of life and seemingly her work was just beginning but God saw fit to call her to a better world. Sister Helen was seized with pneumonia, and a while her recovery was slow and at one time seemed as though life would be shortened, but our hopes were brightened by her steady recovery until in the third week of her sickness, we were all suddenly shocked to hear of Helen's death. The home, the Church, the Sunday school, the day school, and the community sustain a great loss, though we feel our loss is her eternal gain. Helen was an obedient daughter, a good worker in all religious meetings, always filling her place well, without excuses. A willingness on her part was noticed in whatever kind of work she was asked to do. Father, mother, and sister (Gertrude), survive. Funeral was held Nov. 13 at the Pleasant Grove Church, conducted by Abram Metzler, and J. N. Durr. Interment in the Pleasant Grove Cemetery.

At the age of 8 years he moved with his parents to Windsor, Ashtabula Co., Ohio. He was a bright, active boy always ready to help others and make them happy. He was loved by all who knew him through his sunny disposition. At the age of 13 he was converted and has lived a devoted Christian life. We was an active worker in the Sunday school and his seat was never vacant. At the time of his death he was working for his brother-in-law in Seneca Co., at which place he was one of the most faithful attendants of the Sunday school. On Sunday morning, Nov. 29, he was kicked in the throat by a horse. At first they thought it not serious as it did not knock him down, but as he had great difficulty in breathing a physician was called and all was done that loving hands could do, but his mission on earth was done and he died an hour later of strangulation. His parents had expected him home the week following his death, but God in His wise providence saw fit to take him to that better home, where partings are unknown. His body was brought home for burial. He was buried at Windsor on Friday, Dec. 4. He leaves a sorrowing father and mother, 2 sisters, Mrs. Ira Baugher of Seneca Co., and Mrs. John Yoder and 1 brother of this place, also a host of friends to mourn his early departure. He will be sadly missed at home and in the Sunday school, but our loss is his eternal gain.
His toils are past, his work is done,
And he is fully blest,
He has fought the fight, the victory won,
And entered into rest.

Transcriber's note: dates and age do not match. He does seem to have been 14, so birthdate may be 1900.
Also: "We" was an active worker in the Sunday school

On the evening of Sept. 21, while on his way to a neighbor's home for a fanning mill he met with a serious accident, in that the team ran away and threw him and his son from the wagon. During his 11 weeks and 5 days of severe suffering he was most patient, never complaining and when asked how he was, always answering "all right." His constant thought was for his children and his desire was to stay with them until all had reached their majority, that he might give them that fathers help so needful to all men. Notwithstanding this he was fully resigned to the will of God, realizing that what He does is well done. Early in the year 1910 he united with the Mennonite Church at the Olive congregation, of which body he was a faithful member until death.
