Little Josie was very sick nearly three weeks with pleurisy and pneumonia, although he bore it patiently and at times said he did not wish to get well. Only 4 weeks before he died he with the rest of the family followed his dear old grandmother to her last resting place. Little did we think that so soon we would follow Josie to his little grave, but so it is. God's ways are not our ways, and God knows best when to take His little jewels home. He leaves parents, 4 sisters and 2 brothers. 'Twas hard to part with dear Josie, but they sorrow not as others that have no hope. He was a very industrious little boy. The day on the evening of which he took sick he helped in the field.

"We had a little Josie once,
He was our darling child;
We loved him, ah, perhaps too well,
For soon he drooped and died.

We often think of his sweet smile,
His ever faithful love;
Our weary hearts he oft beguiled,
He dwells with God above.

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

Go little loved one go,
A parent's heart can tell,
And none but theirs can fully know
How hard to say farewell."
--AUNTIE.

The blow falls very heavily upon sister Shetler and her family of four sons and three daughters. Yet they mourn not as those who have no hope. Bro. Shetler was a faithful and highly esteemed member of the Old Amish denomination. The Sunday before his death he participated with us for the last time in the commemoration of the Lord's suffering and death.

Never can distress thee more."

She suffered much, being sick about 14 weeks. Her sickness first began with inflammation of the bowels, and afterwards with catarrh of the stomach, and heart trouble, and at last was yet afflicted with an abscess in the liver. She was resigned to the will of God, and longed greatly to go home and be with Jesus. She greatly enjoyed singing, reading the Scriptures, and prayer, and wished us the last night of her life upon earth to sing to her of heaven,

"O sing to me of heaven,
When I am called to die;
Sing songs of holy ecstacy,
To waft my soul on high." Etc.

She left evidence behind that she died in peace, she chose for her funeral text: 1 Cor. 4: 17; 5: 1. Services by Bish. M. Horst, D. Hostetler, A. Brenneman, and Ira J. Buchwalter.

She sings His praise, who died for her,
And in her hand a harp is given,
And she's a heavenly worshiper."

He united with the Mennonite church in 1855 and was a consistent member until his Master called him home. He realized that his departure was near at hand, and we trust he could say with Paul "I am now ready to be offered." He was buried on the 21st in the Longenecker graveyard, at which place many friends assembled in token of respect for the deceased and to sympathize with the afflicted family. Funeral services by David Garber and David Hostetler, from Phil. 1: 21. Peace to his ashes.

Eaton, Wayne Co., Ohio, her father being quite ill of pneumonia at the time. The funeral was announced for 10 o'clock A. M. and 30 minutes before ten the father died thus making the occasion a doubly sorrowful one to the mother, and companion as well as the rest of the family. Added to this one of mother Martin's children, Minerva, was very low with typhoid fever in Mahoning Co., Ohio, while one son could not be present at the funeral on account of sickness. Sister Brewer died with a bright hope and a full assurance of life beyond. She chose her funeral text several years ago, but it was not realized by her sister until the minister, by a strange coincidence or providential guidance read the text she had selected. Sister B. leaves her husband and one child 16 mo. Old to mourn her early departure. Buried on the 19th in the Longenecker graveyard, followed by a large concourse of friends. The hymn, "Shed not a tear o'er your friend's early bier, When I am gone," was selected for the occasion. Funeral services by David Garber and David Hostetler, from Amos 4: 12.

Are swiftly born away;

HERR. ­ Our sister Susan M. wife of Newton Herr, and daughter of John and Margaret Mellinger, departed this life Monday May 6, 1895, aged 30 years, 5 months and 9 days. The departed leaves a husband, two small children, and an invalid mother who will greatly miss her service as well as her companionship. The departed had many friends, and the bereft have many sympathizers, as was manifested on Thursday May 9, when the funeral was held at the Paradise Mennonite meeting house, which, though quite large, was altogether too small to accommodate those who were present. Our aged Bro. Amos Herr gave us some words of consolation and admonition followed by Isaac Eby, who preached from Lam. 3: 31 ­ 33, dwelling upon the mercies of God, how they are offered, and also showing how they become void to us through our spurning them and substituting God's grace with forms or customs which have no power to save; thus striving to direct his hearers to the only fount of true blessing, assuring us that the Lord doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men, but will have compassion according to the multitude of His tender mercies. May the Lord grant to us all implicit faith in those promises and in God Himself, so that we can say truthfully as did Job, "Though he slay me yet will I trust in him;" ever looking forward with the blessed assurance, "we shall meet."

In heaven above, where all is love,
We hope that you will greet us."

"The little crib is empty now,
The clothes are now laid by;
I am not dead, but sleeping,
Awaiting a crown on high.

So farewell, dear, dear mamma
You nursed and watched me well;

So mother, dear, farewell.

And farewell, dear, dear papa
You to your bosom pressed
Your child, your Mary Ellen dear,
Who now has gone to rest." ­ Sel. by HER MOTHER.

MILLER. ­ On the 30th of May, 1895, near Plevna, Howard Co., Ind., of consumption, Ida Miller, aged 17 years, 7 months and 11 days. Sister Ida very patiently bore all her sorrows and her afflictions. She gave her heart to Jesus two years ago, when the brethren J. S. Coffman and J. P. Smucker were holding a series of meetings at this place. She was a devoted young sister. She will be greatly missed both in the church and out of church, although she said that if God would again grant health unto her that she would do up her work early and then take her Bible and go to some secret place and read her Bible and commune with her Lord. She was adopted into the family of brother Noah Schrock, her mother's husband. Her mother died about twelve years ago. On the 31st the remains of Sister Ida were followed to the A. M. meeting house by a very large concourse of people. Services were conducted by E. A. Mast in German, from Ecc. 12: 1 ­ 7, and J. S. Horner in English, from James 4: 13, 14.

"A precious one from us is gone,
A voice we loved is stilled!

Which never can be filled.

"Go to thy rest, fair Ida,
Go to thy dreamless bed!
While yet so gentle, undefiled,
With blessing on thy head!"

BASINGER. ­ On the 28th of May, in Mahoning Co., O., of inflammation of the bowels, Ira, son of Jacob and Lydia Basinger, aged 20 years, 6 months and 1 day. Funeral on the 30th at the Oberholzer M. H. where services were conducted by Allen Rickert and John Burkholder. He had been in the vigor of health until about a week before his death. Being a bright boy, kind, gentle and seemingly of a faultless disposition, he had gained a wide circle of warm friends which was attested by the fact that perhaps never before had as many people assembled on any occasion at the Oberholzer church as were present, to pay their last tribute of respect at his funeral. But with all this he came to realize that even the highest moral character alone will not save, and his desire to be baptized and received into the visible church of Christ was granted, and his bereaved parents and only surviving brother, as well as his many friends, can well soothe their sorrows with the assurance that he is at rest. He left this message for them, that they should tell his comrades and young friends also to come to Christ and meet him in heaven, and that they should try and work more for Jesus than he did. Now young friends, will you not for his as well as for Christ's sake heed his dying request and accept his invitation to come to Christ, to live and work for Him while in the vigor of youth and still others may join in with you to meet him in the glory world. ­ M.

Text, Matt. 24: 44, a large assemblage were present to sympathize with the bereft family. We hope their loss is his eternal gain.

Our family circle now is broken,
Since our Ellis dear has gone;
In our grief, our hearts have spoken,
"Lord, Thy will, not ours, be done."

Hard it was indeed to part
With one so bright and young in years;
But Jesus soothes our aching heart,
And in His love doth dry our tears.

The Lord in love us Ellis gave,
The blossom that we loved so well;
And Christ the Lord who came to save,
But called him home with Him to dwell.

The child no more to us can come,
And in the family circle meet;
But in that blest, eternal home,
We hope in joy again to meet.

SHENK. ­ On the first of June, 1895, near Petersburg, Lancaster Co., Pa., of heart disease, and dropsy, Harry W., son of Christian and Anna Shenk, aged 13 yrs., 10 mo., and 1 day. Buried on the 4th at the Petersburg Mennonite church. Services were conducted by Benjamin Hertzler in English and John Landis in German. He leaves his parents, two brothers and one sister to mourn their loss; also his neighbors and friends, yet not without hope. A few hours before he died he called the family to his bed-side and said he would like to see them once more; then kissing them he said "Good night," then fell into that sleep that knows no waking. The Lord in His infinite love has simply transplanted their dear little Harry as a tender plant out of this dark world of pain, sorrow and sickness to that home beyond, there to join the throng of the redeemed and to unite in singing God's praises as he had often done in the Sunday school of which he was a member, and where he will be sadly missed, as his seat was seldom vacant when health permitted him to go. May the parents, as well as the Sunday school pupils, look beyond the gloomy shades of this life to a better home and may they be prepared that when they are called they may leave this world with the assurance of meeting Harry "where the surges cease to roll."

"Though we lay down our darling to sleep with the dead,
And water his grave with the tears that we shed.
Hope's tender blue violets spring up from our tears
And flourish to gladden the dark vale of tears."

Leaf by leaf the roses fall,
Drop by drop the spring runs dry,
One by one, beyond recall,
Loved ones say farewell and die."
