She was converted and confessed her Savior one year ago and sealed her covenant by water baptism. She remained faithful until she calmly fell asleep in Jesus. About two years ago she was taken sick with dropsy and later on other diseases set in. Her suffering was at times severe, but she endured all patiently without a murmur. And now that she has gone to the land of rest and is free from all her pains and sufferings may her kind friends, who so dearly loved her, prepare to meet her in heaven.

She was born in Manor township, near Millersville, but had resided in Rohrerstown since 1859. She was a consistent member of the Mennonite Church for about forty years. During the time our sister was not able to go to the house of God, it was the privilege of many members and ministers to visit her in her home, and to all she was a beautiful example of true patience and Christian fortitude. She was always patient, looking forward, yea, often longing for the time when, like Paul, she could depart this life, and be with Christ, which is far better. Her husband, two sons, a daughter and a sister survive her. The funeral was held on Feb. 25, at the Rohrerstown Mennonite Church. Services were conducted by Bro. D. N. Lehman, from Rev. 14:12. and Bish. Abram Herr. Interment was made in the Lutheran and Reformed cemetery.

May they all so live that they may some day meet as an unbroken family on the banks of eternal deliverance.

When a young man he engaged with his brother-in-law in the mercantile business, in Rohrerstown, and continued in the same until about eight years ago, since which time he has lived a retired life. Bro. Davis was a man of genial disposition, and he will not only be missed in the home, but in the community at large and also in the church, where his seat was seldom vacant, as long as health permitted him to be there. His wife preceded him to the spirit world. He leaves to mourn his departure one daughter and two sons, but we praise God that they sorrow not as those who have no hope, for we believe our brother has only gone from labor to reward. May the Lord comfort the sorrowing family and grant them a blissful reunion on the shores of eternal deliverance. The funeral took place on Feb. 19, with services at the Mennonite Church at Rohrerstown, where deceased was a member. Services were conducted by Bro. D. N. Lehman from Rev. 3:8, and Bro. A. D.

In a room with curtains drawn,
Lies a baby still in death,
Hear the mother's anguished moan,
"Why should I be thus bereft?"

We shall know it all some day,
When the pearly gates unfold;
We shall know it all some day,
When we walk the streets of gold.
We loved thee, dear little Marie, but Jesus loved thee better.

He is survived by his companion, three sons, four daughters, 38 grandchildren and one great-grandchild. He was a faithful member of the Mennonite Church for a number of years, and those who mourn the loss of a devoted father, brother and friend, do well to adhere to his timely counsel, pattern after his consecrated Christian service, and reflect over his exemplary life. The principal disease was dropsy, although there was a general failing due to his age. While many times a bodily sufferer, he ever prayed, "Thy will O Lord, not mine be done;" well knowing, that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

The deceased had been in failing health for about five years, but had always been able to be around and aid in the minor home duties until Monday, Feb. 17, when, while splitting wood he was suddenly taken down with a stroke of paralysis which rendered him entirely helpless. He was carried to the house and about 4 o'clock received another attack which rendered him unconscious, from which he never recovered. He lingered between life and death gradually growing weaker until Saturday evening at 11:30 he passed peacefully and quietly away. He was a faithful and consistent member of the Methodist Church in which he labored earnestly for the upbuilding of the cause of Christ as long as health permitted, he having served as superintendent of the Sunday school for many years. Father was kind, sympathetic and loving, always anxious about the welfare of his children. He lived to see his large family of thirteen children all members of some Christian church, with two sons, Joshua B., and Leo P., and one son-in-law, W. C. Fulton, actively engaged in preaching the Gospel. Besides his sorrowing wife, he leaves eight sons and five daughters, twenty-five grandchildren and two brothers, J. K., of Latour, Mo., and Jacob, of Odessa. Mo., to mourn his sad and sudden departure. But we praise God for the comforting hope that he left behind and amidst tears and sorrow we can truly feel that our loss is his eternal gain, for we believe he died in the hope of a glorious resurrection. Funeral services were held in the Methodist Church on Tuesday, Feb. 25, conducted by his pastor, J. I. Bell, assisted by J. H. Byler, of Belleville, Pa. Text Heb. 11:10. Interment was made in the A. M. cemetery near Allensville, Pa. As mother and children, we earnestly crave an interest in the prayers of all God-fearing people in this sad hour of berevement.
A Son.

In the latter seige of the sickness he often expressed a desire to depart and go to the "house not built with hands, eternal in the heavens." Some of his last expressions were, "I am ready to go." "Jesus is coming soon." He expressed himself much along the line of mission work to encourage the same, admonishing his family to be faithful and to be more zealous in Christian work so that they could all meet as one unbroken family, where parting words are never spoken. Being conscious to the end, he peacefully fell asleep in Jesus. Services were conducted at the Oak Grove Church before a host of friends and acquaintances, on Mar. 2, by Bro. Isaac Good and Benj.

May this be a loud call to his parents and draw their minds heavenward more than ever before. Services were conducted by Pre. Mether and D. D. Miller.

Another little lamb has gone
To dwell with Him who gave;
Another little darling child,
Is sheltered in the grave;
God needed one more angel child,
Amidst His shining band
And so He bent with loving smile,
And clasped our Fremont's hand.
