JACOB S. FUNK.

On the 15th of October 1890, in Minneapolis, Minn., of a complication of diseases, Jacob S. Funk, (brother of John F. and A. K. Funk) aged 48 years, 6 months and 2 days. He was born in Bucks county, Pa., April 13th, 1842. In his earlier years he taught school in his native county. In 1865 he went to Chicago, Ill., and in 1869 he commenced business in Chillicothe, Missouri, and in January 1870 he united in marriage with Anna K. Stover, daughter of Jonas Stover, of Rockhill Twp., Bucks county, Pa. This union was blessed with four children, two of whom, a son and daughter died in Missouri. During the latter years, he has been residing in Minneapolis, Minn., where he died. His business required him to travel much of his time. On one of these business trips, he was taken with a severe bilious attack and laid sick for three days in Terre Haute, Ind. He then was able to make his way to Chicago, and from there home. The disease assumed a complicated form and he suffered intensely especially during the last week of his life. He seemed from the beginning of his sickness to have a settled conviction that his time of departure was at hand. At one time he started up as if from a dream and sat up in bed. His wife asked him: "What do you want?" "Oh," said he, "I don't know which of the mansions I want to take." His wife said: "Why, do not talk so; you are not going to die," or words to that effect. He replied: "Yes, I think that will be the next journey I will take." At another time he lifted up his hand with a tremerous beckoning motion towards heaven and looking up said: "Now Laura, hand me something nice." Laura was his little daughter who had died some years ago. He had made his peace with God and was ready and willing to go. When it became evident that his time of departure was at hand. He was asked by the writer: "Can you put all your trust in Jesus and look forward in the hope of the life beyond?" He nodded assent, and though hardly able to speak, said: "Yes." He was suffering much, and as the doctor came to see him, he looked enquiringly up and put his hand on his right wrist, which caused him a great deal of pain. The doctor then injected morphine and he became more quiet, and about midnight calmly breathed his last. He was buried in Lakewood cemetery on the 17th. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Jas. S. Black, of the Presbyterian church.

Transcriber's note: The sentence "When it became evident that his time of departure was at hand." has no verb in the original.

'Tis but a step, one little step,
Across to yonder side,
But oh! between us waters roll,
'Tis Jordan's chilly tide.

Across its waves the boatman pale,
Has borne a little form,
To dwell with angels evermore,
Secure from all life's storms.

That vacant place, that empty chair
Bring thoughts no tongue can tell,
And scenes of earth, with all their mirth,
Can not our gloom dispel,

But gently from the other side,
Come breezes mild and fair,
They would to us this message bring,
"Our loved one's over there."

In Jesus' arms with angels bright,
Shall now his portion be,
And from the portals of that land
He beckons unto me.

She bade farewell to earthly joys
And went to live among the blest,
The time was short, her life below
But should we sighshe is at rest?

'Tis hard to say, "Thy will be done,

A cold and lifeless form.

And lay them in my breast
Protection they shall find in me,
In me, be ever blest.

Funeral on the 26th at the Mennonite church near Orrville, O., where many friends and neighbors had assembled to sympathize with the afflicted family in their sad bereavement but they need not mourn as those without hope, for she left bright evidence that she is safe with her redeemer, having accepted Jesus and made a covenant with God and the Mennonite church at the age of 1* years. She was a consistent member until death. She seemed to have a premonition that her departure was near at hand, and she chose the text for her funeral, 2 Tim. 4:6, 7, 8. During the three weeks of suffering she never once expressed a desire to get well, but bore it all meekly and patiently to the end and then, we believe sweetly fell asleep in Jesus, and could say with Paul, "I am ready to be offered." Services by C. D. Steiner, Adam Kornhaus and David Hochstetler.

Transcriber's note: Miss Brenneman's age at the time she became a church member is partly illegible in the original.

WITMER.- On the 9th of Sept., at the residence of Pre. Amos Herr, in Lancaster Co., Pa., of infirmities of old age, Sarah, widow of the late Jacob Witmer, in the 92d year of her age. She had been confined to her bed for five weeks, growing gradually weaker until she calmly fell asleep in Jesus. She had a strong, confiding hope in her Savior. On the morning of the day she died, when brother Herr came to her bedside she said, 'O Papa, alone to Jesus." These words she said almost to every one who came to see her. To her daughter, Sister Herr, she said, "O Sarah, help me to fall asleep in Jesus." She fell asleep calmly and peacefully as the poet says:

"So fades a summer cloud away
So sinks the gale when storms are o'er.
So gently shuts the eye of day,
So dies the wave along the shore.

She was buried on the 12th; services by Abraham Brubaker, Elias Groff and Isaac Eby from Ps. 116:15.

She put away what was looked upon as improper for a christian and sought to walk in the ways of the Lord. She suffered about six days, but bore it all in meek submission, and we believe she has gone to her eternal rest and hence, though we mourn our loss, yet we mourn not as those who have no hope.

The communion was held at different times during her sickness. Four days before her death, when I visited her she said the time seemed so long before she could go home. I comforted her saying that the time would not be long any more. It was her desire for a long time that she might change time for eternity.

Her children did all they could to make her as comfortable as possible. She was a faithful and obedient member of the Amish church, a pattern in meekness and humility for her posterity and we have the assurance she fell asleep in Jesus. She leaves 7 children, some 37 grandchildren and 11 greatgrandchildren. She was buried in her son Joseph's family graveyard near Middlebury on the 8th by the side of her husband Jacob Stutzman who died about 18 yrs. ago. Funeral texts, I Pet. 1: 1325 and 2 Cor. 5:110.

LINES

Written by the father of Bertha and Sallie Blough children of Levi A. and Anna Blough who died Sept. 9 and 17, 1890.

Two beautiful flowers have faded,
And our hearts are made to mourn;
But in glory their spirits are waiting
To welcome us parents to come.

Their life was of short duration,
But many a pleasant smile
Had come from those dear little faces
That suffered so much for awhile.

But now their sufferings are over,
And sweetly they are at rest;
So let us prepare to follow,
To meet them with the blest.
