King. - The beginning of the day Saturday, Oct. 20, 1934, was all that could be desired as a perfect day. The sun arose in the eastern sky over the earth, clothed in all its autumn beauty. Bro. Amos King and his two sons, Paul and Emmett, were busily engaged in shredding corn at their home near West Liberty, Ohio. Busy at work, the day proceeded in a regular, cheerful, and satisfactory manner. About two forty-five, in the afternoon, while preparing to stop work, the day's work was brought to a sudden close when father in the set of untying the blower -- for some unknown reason, lost his hold and fell to his death; aged 62 y. 2 m. 10 d. Little did we think when we gathered around the table for the noon-day meal that he had asked our Father's blessing for the last time, and his place would so soon be empty. But we feel that by his daily life and testimony, death even at such an unexpected moment as this found him, "watching, and ready to be called." Amos was the son of Jonathan and Salome (Zook) King, and was born Aug. 10, 1872. He was married to Nannie J., daughter of Levi and Nancy King, Dec. 22, 1895. Nearly thirty-nine years they traveled life's road together, sharing the joys and sorrows God permitted to come, knitting the bands of love around their hearts, tenderly drawing them closer one to the other. He gave expression to this only a few weeks ago when he said, "I wish we could both go together." This union was blessed with five children (Loren, who preceded him in death Jan. 22, 1921; Anna -- Mrs. Howard Shoemaker, Paul, Emmett, and Vernon at home). He accepted Christ as his personal Savior in his youth, and became a member of the Mennonite Church. He became an active worker for his Lord, serving Him in the various activities of the Church, to which he was called. He was conscientious and a man of conviction, manifesting a love for his Lord, Church, and fellowmen. He was interested in Sunday school work, and taught a class for thirty-five years, except a few years when he served its superintendent. For thirteen years he served as treasurer of the local Sunday school. Since 1912 he has served as secretary of the local board of the Lima Mission. We believe he consecrated his life in self-sacrificing service, faithfully filling the various capacities to which he was called, until his Master quickly snatched him from among us to live and rest with Him over on the beautiful hills of Glory. Besides his immediate family, he leaves to mourn his departure 4 grandchildren, 1 sister (Mrs. Jacob Detwiler), 1 aged
uncle (Joshua B. King of Stark Co., 0.), an aged aunt (Mrs. Katie Kauffman of Volant, Pa.), and a host of friends and neighbors whose loss is his eternal gain.

"'Father, now your place is empty,
And you now we see no more,
But we hope some day to meet you
Over on the other shore."

Funeral services were held Oct. 23 at the South Union Church. Tuesday afternoon, in charge of S. E. Allgyer, assisted by N. E. Troyer and Maurice O'Connell. The funeral was very largely attended.

He lived to see all his children, and a number of his grandchildren unite with the church of his choice.

He was afflicted with cancer for several months, but bore his suffering patiently, peacefully passing on to his reward.

He was very much interested in Christian service. By his death the home has lost a loving father, one that was very much concerned about his children; the community, a kind and helpful neighbor; and the Church, a faithful brother. His place in the church was seldom vacant when health permitted. "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth, yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours, and their works do follow them."

"Now the home is vacant;
Father and mother have gone to rest;
But we our heads do humbly bow,
And say 'God thought it best.' "

Paul was the oldest of a family of 5 children, and will be missed very much, especially because of his friendly disposition and his tragic death. Being a very willing boy to help his parents, and having an especial inclination to be among horses, on the morning of his death he went to the field to bring the horses to the barn. He took a rope with him and put it around the horse's neck and evidently tied the other end of the rope to his right arm, leading the horse homeward, when suddenly the horse became fractious and dragged him to his death. He leaves to mourn his unexpected death his sorrowing parents, 2 brothers, 2 sisters, 2 grandfathers, 1 grandmother (J. C.

Just why two such promising young boys should be called from their loved ones so early in life we cannot understand now, but God knows best. Both were Christian young men; Bro. Forrest had accepted Christ 7 years ago and remained faithful until he was called home after an illness of 5 days, although he had not been in the best of health for some time.

She was the daughter of the late Joseph and Catharine Bucher, being the fifth of a family of 12 children: 4 died when yet small, 8 growing to manhood and womanhood and having families of their own.

On Sept. 25, 1930, mother fell and fractured her hip and was taken to a private hospital in Lancaster, Pa.. where she remained 8 1/2 weeks, being greatly loved by the doctors and nurses who remember her to this day as patient Grandma. She learned to walk again with a little help, but since Dec., 1933, her health began to fail. She fell 4 times and the last time, Aug. 8, she bruised herself severely. The shock being too great for her, she never recovered. She suffered much at times, but bore her affliction patiently. During the night of Sept. 1 she had cerebral hemorrhage, leaving her left side entirely paralyzed, unable to talk that we could understand her and almost entirely helpless during all her last sickness. After the hemorrhage she lay in a semiconscious condition most of the time until Sept. 24, when she peacefully fell asleep. She retained her good mind to a remarkable extent until her last sickness. She had often longed for this. She never got to church services after she was in the hospital, but always enjoyed services in the home and those who visited her always found her in a satisfied and patient spirit. We can pay her no better tribute than to follow her advice and example. Funeral services were held Sept. 27 at Good's Mennonite Church by Bros. Noah Risser, Ira Miller, and Simon Garber. Text, Phil. 1:21 and Psa. 17:15. Burial in adjoining cemetery.

"There lives and dwells in mansions far
Beyond the ken of erring mortals;
A soul whose virtues, like a star
Resplendent, shine beyond their portals."

In the midst of our joys we feel blue;
A smile on our face, yet a heartache,
Longing, dear Father, for you." By a Daughter.

When at times they see us smile;
But they little know the heartache,
That the smile hides all the while."

"He sleeps, he sleeps, and never more
Will his footsteps fall by the old home door,
Nor his voice be heard with its loving tone
By the lone ones left round his own hearthstone,
He has gone, - he has gone - to his home afar -
To the beautiful land where the angels are." By a neighbor.

"Beautiful rest for the weary,
Well deserved rest for the true;
When our life's journey is ended,
We shall again be with you." Mother.

Showalter. - Amelia, oldest child of Preacher Philip and Anna (Komhaus) Nice, was born at Sterling, Ill., Dec. 25, 1873. She united with the Mennonite Church in her youth, remaining faithful to the end. In November, 1892, she was married at Roseland, Neb., to George Showalter of Lancaster, Pa., who died Oct. 8, 1909. To this union were born 10 children, 1 having died in infancy. They are Emma (Mrs. Noah Yoder) of Wellman, Iowa; Fannie (Mrs. Erlis Kinsinger) of Parnell, Iowa; William of Omaha, Neb.; George of Anselmo, Neb.; Ammon of Roseland, Neb.; Mary (Mrs. Clifford Roberts) of Oxford, Iowa; Alice (Mrs. Wm. Ehrman), Ada (Mrs. Isaac Grabill) of Roseland, Neb.; and Harry of Wellman, Iowa. Besides her nine children she leaves 2 brothers and 3 sisters (Mrs. William Ferry and Mrs. Daniel Frey of Sterling, Ill., Mrs. Ray Wetmore of Oklahoma City, Joseph Nice of Roseland, Neb., and Tobias Nice of Chicago). These with 13 grandchildren and many other relatives mourn her departure. From the time of her marriage until eight years ago she lived near Roseland, Neb. She was left a widow at the age of 36. For 17 years after the death of her husband she kept her family together, going through many hardships which only those who have had similar experiences can fully comprehend. For many years she suffered from diabetes, which developed a gangrenous infection that required the amputation of a foot. From then on she lived in Iowa with her two oldest daughters. She bore her suffering patiently, and expressed her desire to depart and be with her companion. Her last illness was of only a few days. Her end was peace.

"Dear Mother, your sufferings are o'er,
Your cold hands will toil for us no more.
And though we have bid you goodnight
And our sad hearts ache at parting,
We long to bid you good morning
In that land of eternal rejoicing."

After services at West Union the body was taken to Iowa City and thence to Roseland, Neb., Mrs. Showalter's former home, for burial.

Shank. - Joseph, son of the late Pre. Samuel and Catherine (Rhodes) Shank, was born July 3, 1857, near Broadway, Va.; died Oct. 26, 1934, of Encephetitis or inflammation of the brain cells and spinal cord (probably due to some injury of long standing); aged 77 y. 3 m. 23 d. He had received some injuries in an automobile accident several months before, from which he never seemed to have fully recovered, but was going about his duties. Rather suddenly he lapsed into a state of semi-consciousness in which condition he remained until he passed peacefully away. He was seriously ill only about a week. His wife, Emma (Showalter) Shank, preceded him in death by almost seven years, having passed away on Christmas Day, 1927. Also one son, Daniel, and an infant daughter passed on before. The following children survive: Mary C., wife of Wilmer Geil; Sallie, wife of Irvin Showalter; Samuel; Frances, wife of Abner Weaver; May, wife of Pete Blosser; Ezra, Sarah, and Ruth; and 25 grandchildren; also 2 brothers (Bishop Lewis Shank and P. E. Shank) and 1 sister (Mrs. Sarah Zigler). All of his children and grandchildren were present at his funeral except his son Ezra who sailed as a missionary to Africa a few hours after his father's death.
Bro. Shank's entire life was spent in the Broadway community, his farm home being not far distant from the place of his birth. He was a public-spirited man, always taking an active interest in whatever enterprises be deemed of real value to his community, and spent much of his time in his younger years in the building of roads and bridges and the construction of telephone lines. He was a lover of sacred song and served his congregation as chorister for many years previous to his ordination to the ministry. As minister he served faithfully from the time of his ordination in middle life to old age, readily accepting his full share of the hard tasks, and living and teaching full loyalty to God and the Church. His counsel was much sought, and he was frequently used on boards and committees. His memory is cherished and his works do follow him.
Funeral services were held Oct. 28 from the home and at Zion Church conducted by Brethren J. L. Stauffer, Joseph Geil, and J. H. Turner. Interment in adjoining cemetery.
