A FATAL ACCIDENT
A sad and fatal accident occurred on the 13th of January by which one of our ministering brothers, Pre. Stephen T. Miller of Wayland, Henry Co., Iowa lost his life. Bro. Miller left his home on the 13th on the Iowa Central Ry., intending to visit the church at Roanoke, Ill., to be present at the annual meeting of the Mennonite Evangelizing Board of America (of which he was a member) at the Clinton Amish M.H. near Goshen, Ind. About 25 miles west of Wayland, the coach in which Bro. Miller was, jumped the track as it was crossing a trestle bridge. The coach fell about 30 feet and was badly demolished. The passengers were all more or less injured and bruised. Bro. Miller was taken out a few minutes after the accident, fatally injured. His wounds consisted of a deep cut on his forehead and serious internal injuries. He died after four days of suffering near the place of the wreck. His remains were taken home, and the funeral was held on the 20th at the Sugar Creek M.H. The services were conducted by C. Werey and S. Gerig in German and by Benj. Eicheer in English, from John 6:24. The funeral was very largely attended by relatives and friends. Bro. Miller was born in Holmes Co., Ohio, in 1844, and was married the 4th of January, 1866, to Catharine Degler. Of their two children one is still living. After his wife's death in March, 1869, Bro. Miller was married again on the first of December, 1871, to Sister Sarah Wenger. This union was blessed with eight children, of whom 5 are now living. In 1877 Bro. Miller was called to the office of deacon in Wayne Co., Ohio. In 1878 he moved with his family to Henry Co., Iowa, purchasing the farm on which he has since resided. In 1879 he was called to preach the gospel, in which calling he labored faithfully until death called him away. Bro. Miller was a devoted husband, a kind father, and he was loved and respected by his fellow-men. He will be sadly missed by all, and especially in the family and the church who mourn deeply the loss of one so near and dear to them, but we believe that our loss is his eternal gain. The family and the church asks to be remembered in prayer by all the brethren and sisters in this sad hour of affliction. A. BROTHER

OBITUARY
Anna, wife of William Gross and daughter of Pre. Samuel Godshalk died on the 19th of Nov. 1892, aged 13 days less than 50 years. She was buried on the 23d at the Doylestown Mennonite burying ground, where a large congregation had assembled to show to her the last tribute of love and respect. She was a consistent member of the church, and her seat during the public service was seldom vacant. She was a dutiful daughter, and a kind and affectionate mother. Our loss is her great gain. She sleeps in Jesus. We say in the language of Paul: For me to live is Christ; for me to die is gain. God doeth all things well. Three hours before she died her father bade her farewell with the precious hopes of meeting her again on that peaceful happy shore, where parting is never known. And this was also her earnest desire.
Anna my daughter is no more, her toils and trials are o'er,
Jesus he called and she obey'd, and in the grave was laid.
Although we feel sad and do mourn, Jesus will her adorn,
With the white robe of righteousness, with heavenly jewels bless.

His stomach refused to retain solid food, his nourishment being liquid food, and at last even this failed him, and nothing was left but to wait for death, which finally came to the child's relief. Many a tear of sympathy was shed by the family when they gathered around the table to satisfy their bodies with food and had to see poor little Amos look on and suffer hunger.

"Farewell, my dear beloved friends, I now must go and leave you;
My hope and comfort at my end is Jesus death and suffering.
This is my comfort in distress, that He for me has tasted death, whereby He has redeemed me.
My consort whom I dearly love, let it not sorely grieve thee,
While from thy side the God of love to the cold grave doth move me;
I now shall be forever free from grief and pain that burden me, my Jesus is my comfort.
My Jesus, too, will comfort thee, thy husband's place he taketh.
If thou on him steadfastly lean while here on earth thou livest.
Soon he will also call thee home that we together there may roam in everlasting glory.
My dear beloved children all. May God be your protector;
May you him truly Father call while I am from you taken;
Let Jesus and his holy word to you a rule through life afford since will my Jesus bless you.
Since God bestowed you unto me unite with him as members,
And be into his kingdom led, then shall we see each other,
In glory and in happiness, forever in eternal bliss, through our Redeemer, Amen.
