"Dear husband is dead, and I am alone
'Tis the debt which all mortals must pay,
Yet of all sorrows I've felt in my life,
I never knew grief till to-day.

Full twenty years we walked side by side,
Each a staff to the other always,
But the angel of death has taken my help,
So what can I do now but pray.

We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care;
Our home is dark without thee,
We miss thee everywhere." Selected by his widow.

He was a minister in the Amish Mennonite congregation at Roanoke. He was beloved and esteemed by all, a kind and affectionate husband and father, and charitable never closing his hand from the poor or the door against the beggar. He is sadly missed in his family, consisting of his widow and four sons, as well as in the church, but we believe that our loss is his gain. The remains were interred on the 9th in the Roanoke cemetery. Funeral services by D. Orendorf, Christian Reasor and John Smith. J.S.

LEHMAN.-Elizabeth, wife of Pre. Benj. K. Lehman, died Dec. 15, 1893, aged 75 years, 7 months, and 20 days. Funeral services at Habecker's meeting house Dec. 18, preachers Witmer, Snavely and Brenneman officiating. Her chair is vacant. The home that knew her knows her no more. Though kind friends still greet us there, she is not there; and whatever the circumstances, whether rejoining in success or bowing in disappointment and sorrow, she can no more rejoice with us, or cheer us in our disappointment. While health and strength lasted she was always mindful of the welfare and comfort of others, but in the latter years she was helpless and required attention, permitting those about her to repay her in part for her love and kindness which she always manifested. She was a member of the Mennonite church for many years, and no one was more regular in attending services than she. Her husband and four sons and four daughters survive, two daughters having died before her.

"Blessed, sainted mother!
I can see her now,
As in days of childhood,
When she kissed my brow.
How I long to greet her,
But the angels say,
Call her not back again
She is with you every day."
She had the satisfaction of seeing all her children married, and with one exception all have enlisted under the banner of Christ. We may very appropriately say of her:-
"Life's work well done,
Life's race well run,
Life's crown well won,
Now comes rest."

BRUBAKER.-On the 30th of Jan. 1894, near Lititz, Lancaster Co., Pa., Susan, widow of Joseph Brubaker (who died in 1884), aged 81 years, 3 months, 21 days. Her affliction caused her great pains in the bowels, but she was fully resigned to the will of God by trusting for relief in a blessed sleep in Jesus. She was a quiet and peaceable sister in the Mennonite church, and leaves two daughters, Annie, wife of Jacob Wissler, and Lavina, wife of Abram Leahn; also two grandchildren and five great grandchildren (descendant of Annie) to mourn her departure, but still not as those without good hope. On the 2d of Feb her remains were taken to the burial ground at the Hess meeting house where a large number of friends and neighbors assembled to sympathize with the bereaved and show their love and respect. Funeral services were conducted by J.H. Hess, C.S. Risser and J.B. Bucher. Text, Rev. 14:12,13.

"Weep not that my toils are over,
Weep not that my race is run;
God grant we may rest as calmly
When our work on earth is done.

Gone is mother to her home
On yonder blissful shore;
We miss thee here, but soon will come
Where thou hast gone before.

"This lovely bud, so young, so fair,
Called hence by early doom,
Just came to show how sweet a flower
In Paradise could bloom.

Ere sin could harm or sorrow fade.
Death came with friendly care
The opening bud to heaven conveyed
And bade it blossom there."

LANDIS.-On Feb. 12th 1894, in Upper Leacock Twp., Lanc. Co., Pa., very suddenly, of heart disease, Father Christian R. Landis, aged 80 years and 21 days. He had a severe attack of the grippe about the holidays, but had fully recovered. On Monday morning the 12th inst. he had a desire to go to Lancaster; the weather being moderate, he started on the 8 o'clock train. After attending to his duties in the city, he left on the 3.20 train for home, accompanied by his youngest son. In the meantime the weather became cold, with a north-east gale, and snowing pretty fast. After getting off the train at Heller's Station, they had about 300 yards to walk facing the wind, although Father Landis had an umbrella to protect him from the cold. But after returning home he pulled off his gloves, and seated himself on an arm chair, remarking, "This was too much for me." Shortly afterward, the children that were seated about him, noticed him becoming faint, and at once carried him to bed, where he expired with but a single gasp. Thanks be to God that father was permitted to reach home to die surrounded by his family. He leaves an aged widow, 4 sons and one daughter to mourn his departure, yet they mourn not as those who have no hope. His remains were laid to rest in the Stumptown graveyard on the 15th followed by an exceedingly large concourse of relatives and friends. He was a faithful member in the Mennonite church for many years, and will long be remembered for his consistant Christian life. His seat at the meeting was seldom vacant when health permitted. Funeral services were conducted by David Buckwalter and John K. Brubaker at the house, from Prov. 27:1, and by Joseph Wenger and Isaac Eby at the church from Rev. 22:12.

'Tis hard to part with thee, dear father,
We can only wonder why
Thou hast left us grieved and lonely,-
May we meet thee by and by.

Human hands have tried to serve thee,
Tender care was all in vain,
Holy angels came and bore thee
From this weary world of pain.

Father, thou art sweetly resting,
Cold may be this earthly tomb,
But the angels sweetly whispered,
Come and live with us at home. M.L. LANDIS

RUPERT.-On the 5th of Feb, 1894, near Delphos, Ohio, of tumor in the stomach; sister Sidney Rupert, aged 67 years, 11 months and 2 days. She with her husband united with the Mennonite denomination in 1884 since which time she has been a faithful and consistent member, and as we believe an earnest devoted and humble follower of Jesus. As she saw death approaching she arranged everything for her funeral; earnestly admonishing her family to be ready for the coming of the Lord. At her request the hymn, "O sing to me of Heaven" was sung and she joined in singing the chorus, "There'll be no more sorrow there." She was another witness of the truth that "Tis religion must supply solid comforts when we die," and while her body was in great distress, she was rejoicing in the Spirit and requested that the hymn, "O how happy are they who their Savior obey" be sung. It is a blessed thought indeed that the family and friends need not mourn without hope, but can comfort themselves with the precious hope that when the Lord shall come with the trump of God; that mother will come forth from her grave with a glorified body and be with the Lord evermore. Buried on the 7th at the Pike M.H. where remarks were made by Andrew and J.M. Shenk from the text, "O death, where is thy sting?"

MULLENOUR.- On the 4th of February 1894, in Allen Co., Ohio, Mary, maiden name Sherrick, wife of Daniel Mullenour, aged 49 years, 10 months and 18 days.

A kind husband, 8 children, an aged mother and 4 brothers are left to mourn their loss. She was a faithful member of the Mennonite denomination for a number of years and seemed to have a living faith in her Redeemer. Buried on the 6th at the Salem M.H. Her funeral was largely attended. Funeral services by Moses Brenneman from Matt. 25:13, assisted by Andrew Shenk. May God comfort the mourning friends and may this sudden call bring forcibly to our minds the uncertainty of life and the great importance of being ready.

"Death hath borne you from us, mother,
And we take the last farewell

For thy trust was placed in Jesus,
Who will all our sorrows share.

Dearest mother, we do miss thee,
When we see thy vacant chair;
When we look around to see thee
Naught but sorrow see we there.

Since our Savior thought it best

Soon we hope with wings celestial
To be borne thy joys to share."

But we may hope to meet with him,
With Christ before God's throne."

PRE. JACOB H. FUNK
was a minister in the Mennonite church in Chester Co., Pa., for about thirty years. He was afflicted with gangrene for about eight years, and was the greater part of his time confined to his house. He passed peaceably and quietly away from earth to his reward on January 18, 1894, aged 68 years, 1 month and 25 days. His funeral took place on the 22d from his residence in East Vincent, Chester Co., Pa. Services were conducted by Bro. John Latshaw in English, prayer by Bro. Jacob B. Mensch in German in the presence of a crowded house.
Services at the M.H. were conducted in English by Jacob B. Hunsberger from the text "I am the resurrection and the life" followed by J.K. Brubaker from Lancaster Co. After the services the remains were consigned to the earth. The over-crowded house gave evidence that he was well remembered and highly esteemed.
Bro. Funk during his long and tedious affliction, often gave evidence of a desire to depart and be with Christ.
His one foot had been amputated between the ankle and knee joints; his other was minus all the toes.
He leaves a wife, three sons and three daughters and a number of grandchildren to mourn their loss, which we hope is his eternal gain. May the God of all comfort be with the family who so faithfully administered to his wants, and especially to the widowed mother and companion in life, who stood so faithfully and unflinchingly by his side during his affliction.
Bro. Funk once more on this last Christmas invited all his children and grandchildren home. It seemed a special impulse was telling him that this was his last opportunity to gather them together under the parental roof on such an occasion. He also invited the writer to e present in order to conduct a service appropriate to the occasion. He said to the family that this was perhaps the last time they would enjoy such an occasion together. In the afternoon a short Christmas service was held, which was greatly enjoyed by all.
This day will not soon be forgotten. Twenty-five days afterward he had passed away.

'Tis not the spirit that hath died,
'Tis but the mortal frame;
Then let our souls rejoice, be glad,
That we may meet again." JACOB B. HUNSBERGER.

My mother dear supplied
For me while sleeping in her arms,
And playing by her side.

Things will change as time moves on,
She soon grew old and blind;
And I in turn then took the hand
That oft had held to mine.

Side by side we often walked,
Holding each others hand,
But now she's gone, I hope she's safe
In Canaan's happy land.

We'll trust the precious promises
God in His word has given;
And hope these long closed eyes of hers
Are open now in heaven.

His pupils, by the hundred, are scattered over Pennsylvania, Ohio and the far West. He was for many years a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, but age, experience, and a wide acquaintance among people of different denominations had rubbed of the sharp angles of sectarianism and made him feel well at home in our church and among our people. He had his faults, but seemed concerned deeply to be found in the end a child of God.

The services were conducted by Pre. Comp, and appropriate remarks were made by Pre. J.S. Coffman and Pre. Bergen.
