A HORRIBLE DEATH
On the 15th of May in Boyne Falls, Mich., Mr. Hugh Cameron, proprietor of the Boyne Falls Handle Factory, had both arms torn from his body, and his whole body crushed by a belt of the elevator. In putting the belt on the pulley of the main line shaft while running at full speed the belt was thrown over him; winding him around the main shaft and striking him with head and feet on the floor. Before the engine could be stopped his body was badly mangled. His sufferings lasted only thirty minutes when death relieved him of his bodily sufferings. Mr. Cameron was a good man to the poor, but the one thing needful was put off to a more convenient season. "Be ye therefore also ready, for the Son of man cometh in such an hour as ye think not." His body taken to Canada for burial, where the parents of the deceased reside. He was about 35 years of age. The writer was running the engine on the day of the accident, and the sad sight was such as he hopes never to see again. D. B. SHELLY.

And now my witness is on high
and now my reacord's I the sky."

His remains were interred on May 9. Funeral services at the Casselman M. H. by D. H. Bender and Pre. Enlow from I Cor. 15:54.

"Brother, thou art sweetly resting,
Cold may be this earthly tomb;
But the angels sweetly whispered,
Come, and live with us at home.'"

BRUNK.--On the 15th of April, 1892, in Rockingham Co., Va., of relapse of lagrippe and measles, Sister Nora, daughter of Bro. and Sister Chr. H. and Mary Brunk, aged 17 years, 7 months. She suffered severely for several days. Her life on earth was a short one, but it was full of loving deeds and kind words. Three years before her death she united with the church, and was a faithful and devoted worker for the Lord, adorning her life with Christian humility, godly piety, and unfaltering zeal in the cause of Christ. By her earnestness and zeal and her loving gentle ways she endeared herself to everyone, and her loss is sadly felt in the church and Sunday-school and by her classmates and teachers at Mt. Clinton, where she was attending school when she took sick, and although the loss falls heavily upon the bereaved family and her large circle of friends, we feel that our loss is her gain. Buried in the New Erection graveyard, where a large concourse of friends assembled. Funeral services by Bish. S. Coffman and Pre. J. C. Painter.

BRENNEMAN.--Abram H., son of Abraham and Mary Brenneman, was born Jan. 15, 1869, in Rockingham Co., Va. A few months ago he was converted and joined the Mennonite church, in which he lived a zealous and honored member until his probation ended May 12, 1892. At the age of 19 he came to Jasper Co., Mo. One year later he was happily married to Mary V. Weaver, of Oronogo, Mo. The fruit of this marriage is two children. He was in usual health, at work in the field, when he was taken very sick, had to be taken to the house, where he suffered untold agony for 24 hours, when death relieved him. All was done that skilled and loving hands could do, but of no avail. As death began wrapping him in its cold embrace he kissed wife and sister good-bye. When he saw their grief he said, "I am happy." To the widow our Father has assured his sustaining grace; to the orphan comes his promise to be a father; to to the mother the Master says: "Wait but a season and he shall be restored;" to the brother and sister comes the warning, "Be ye also ready." Our loved ones are not lost, but gone before when they die in the Lord. Funeral services were held at the grave by C. F. Barnes, from the words, "Be ye therefore ready, for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of Man cometh."

Death sought a precious victim
When he bore away our loved one
To the glorious gate of Paradise,
To heaven's eternal bower,
To live in the presence
Of the ever-living God
While the frail, fair casket
Lies beneath the dark, damp sod. K. H. BRENNEMAN.

HEATWOLE.--On the 5th of May, 1892, near Dale Enterprise, Va., of brain fever and paralysis, Lewis Aaron, youngest child of Manasses and Margaret Heatwole, aged 6 years, 9 months, 10 days. Buried on the 6th in the Weaver graveyard. Funeral services by Daniel S. Heatwole and Joseph F. Heatwole from 2 Kings 4:26. Little Lewis was a great sufferer for a long time from hip disease, and the last seven months of his life he lay on his back all the time. In this time he was the very model of patience. It is indeed hard for the fond mother to give him up (his father preceded him to the grave), but Jesus said "Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven." If little Lewis could speak to us now no doubt his words would be in accord with the lines:

"Fond mother, calm the heaving breast,
The Savior called me home;
Grieve not, your darling is at rest
Beyond this vale of gloom.

"Let hope's bright beams dispel the gloom
That fills your throbbing breast,
'Twas Jesus kindly bade me come
And called me to his rest."

The fond mother says:
"Lewis, thou hast left us lonely,
Sorrow fills our hearts to day;
But beyond this vale of sorrow
Tears will all be wiped away.

"Lewis, thou art sweetly resting,
Cold may be this earthly tomb;
But the angels sweetly whispered,
ëCome, and live with us at home." P. S. H.

Mr. Foust was a carpenter by trade, having erected several large building in this county and also the U. B. church in which his funeral sermon was preached. He was bold and fearless in his convictions of right, ever ready to lend a helping hand to those in distress, and never in his history was his honesty brought into question. All knew him as a good, honest citizen and neighbor, and a kind husband and father. He was born near Orrstown, Pa., Dec. 29, 1829, and came to Warren county in 1852, where he resided forty years.

Sorrow fills our hearts to-day;
But beyond this vale of sorrow
Tears will all be wiped away.

Cold may be this earthly tomb;
But the angels sweetly whispered,
"Come, and live with us at home.'" C. B. Brenneman.

POWELL.--On the 12th of March, 1892, in Knox Co., Tenn., Willie Hertzler, son of Henry and Lydia Powell, aged 8 months and 5 days. Little Willie was sick but a short time and the physician was unable to give any definite name to the disease. Short services were held at the home of Bro. Powell by H. H. Good, after which the little body was sent to Allen Co., O., to be interred, as they had made arrangements soon to return again to their home in this place which they had left upward of a year ago. It was buried in the Salem graveyard, and on the 1st of May, after the parents' return, services were held at Salem by C. B. Brenneman, from the words, "Suffer little
children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of heaven."

MILLER.--On the 11th of May, 1892, in Elklick Twp., Somerset Co., Pa., of tumorous affection of the liver and stomach, Magdalena (maiden name Swartzendruber), wife of Samuel J. Miller, aged 58 years, 5 months and 27 days. She had been sick nearly all winter. She suffered at times intense pain, so much so that she had to be kept partly under the influence of opiates much of the time, but she bore it all patiently. On the 10th she was yet able to sit up in a chair and was apparently about in the same condition as she had been for some time previous, but during that night she sank very rapidly and about nine o'clock on the morning of the 11th she lapsed into unconsciousness from which she did not rally. She sank gradually lower and quietly expired at about 11 o'clock in the evening. She was laid to rest on the 13th in the new graveyard at the Amish church. Services by C. S.

Buried on the 14th at the Salem church, followed to the grave by many sympathizing relatives and friends. Services by C. B. Brenneman and Moses Brenneman. He was born in Rockingham Co., Va., and was married to Rebecca Rhodes. To this union were born ten children; two have preceded him to the promised land. There are 38 grandchildren living and 7 dead. He also leaves a dear companion with her family to mourn their loss, but blessed be God, they need not mourn as those having no hope. He was a devoted member of the Mennonite church for many years; always kind and charitable to the poor, and would sometimes discommode himself for the sake of helping the poor and needy. He was liberal in his contributions for the cause of Christ. The church has lost one of the charitable ones so much needed to advance the cause of Christ. In the last years of the late war he moved with his family from Rockingham Co., Va., to Putnam Co., Ohio, where he lived a few years and then moved to Allen Co., Ohio on the farm where he lived at the time of his death. A few nights before he died the writer visited him, and asked whether he was ready to be offered. He said he was, and that he was glad that we
need not always remain in the world. He further said, "I am ready, and will just be satisfied as the Lord will." Oh, brethren, let us strive so to live that we can truly say at all times, "Just as the Lord will." C. B. Brenneman

GROVE.--On the 24th of May, 1892, near Ladd, Augusta Co., Va., of asthma and paralysis, Barbara, widow of Martin H. Grove, aged 60 years, 10 months and 4 days. She leaves nine children, -- five sons and four daughters, -- to mourn her departure; yet they mourn not as those that have no hope. She had been a member of the Mennonite church for a number of years, and by her walk and conduct showed to the world that she had accepted Christ. Six of the children have set out to live for the Christ for whom their mother had lived. May they hold out faithful to a happy end and may the remaining three yet turn to Christ before it is too late. She was in her usual health with the exception of a cold. She ate supper as usual and then retired, and not long after she rose. Her son and daughter came to her assistance. She lasted only about half an hour. Her remains were interred at Springdale on the 26th. Funeral services were conducted by J. Martin and A. P. Heatwole from I Sam. 7:3, "Prepare your hears unto the Lord."

Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But ëtis God that haft bereft us,--
He can all our sorrows heal."

Buried on the 18th. Services in the Strasburg M. H. by Pre. Amos Herr from Luke 10:42. This is the second death in this family within a short time, Martin, a son of about 4 years of age, having died but three short weeks before. The bereaved family has the sympathy of the whole community in this sad affliction. May they all look to Jesus for comfort.

The bosom where we oft have lain,
And slept our infant hours away,
Will never beat for us again,
'Tis still in death! 'tis senseless clay.

Well, mother's gone and now at rest;
She sings his praise who died for her,
With all the ransomed and the blest,
And she's a heavenly worshiper.

Oft let us think of what she said,
And of the kind advice she gave:
O let us do it, as she's dead
And sleeping in her lowly grave.

And let us choose the path she chose,
And her we soon again may see
Beyond this world of sin and woes
With Jesus in eternity.
