Gingerich.-Aaron, son of the late Joseph and Magdalene (Lebold) Gingerich, was born near Baden, Ont., Feb. 16, 1874; died Feb. 1, 1942; aged 67 y. 11 m. 16 d. When a young man he gave his heart to God, and united with the Wilmot Amish Mennonite Church, in which faith he was steadfast to the end. His illness was of some two and one-half years duration of heart ailment. He was greatly concerned about the future welfare of the Church and knew his Bible from cover to cover. He was a true Christian father and a beloved neighbor, beloved without the Church as well as within. For him the sorrows of earth came to an end, and we believe he is sweetly resting, awaiting the resurrection morning when we with him shall meet our Lord in the air. Oh, how it ought to make us homesick for heaven, looking for that blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. He leaves his sorrowing wife (Susannah Wagler) to whom he was married in March, 1900; 2 sons, 4 daughters (Isaiah and Elmer of Wilmot Twp.; Mrs. C. O. Erb, of Wellesley; Lavina, at home; Mrs. Isaac Ruby, of Tavistock; Mrs. Henry Wagler, of Shakespeare, Ont.), 1 brother and 1 sister (Moses Gingerich and Nancy Gingerich of Baden, Ont.). Funeral services were held from his late home in Baden, Ont., Feb. 4, by Bro. Ben Gingerich at the house, with further services at the Steinman Church by Bros. Peter Nafziger, Daniel S. Jutzi, and Moses O. Jantzi. Interment in Steinman's Cemetery beside the church.

Gingerich.-Noah, son of the late Rudy and Maria (Zehr) Gingerich, was born near Baden, Ont., in 1880; died near Baden, Dec. 1, 1941; aged 61 y. At the age of 19 years he gave his heart to God and united with the Wilmot Amish Mennonite Church, of which he was a faithful member until death. In March, 1912, he was united in marriage to Sarah Swartzentruber of Pigeon. Mich., who survives him, with 1 daugh-ter (Edna) ; also 4 brothers and 3 sisters (Jacob of St. Agatha; Abraham and John of Baden; Pre. Ben Gingerich of New Hamburg; Mrs. John K. Roth of Baden; Mrs. Moses L. Jantzi, Baden; and Mrs. Christian Z. Steinman of New Hamburg). His illness was a heart ailment of three years' duration. He was fully resigned to the will of God.

In her youth she united with the Men-nonite Church and remained faithful until death. Nov. 14, 1901, she was married to Sylvester Ellsworth Johnson, who preceded her in death. Aug. 18, 1908, she was married to Austin B. Gilnett, who with one daughter, Thelma Gilnett, survives her, as well as one brother, Elmer Johnson, and many other relatives and friends. Her passing, due to a heart attack, was sudden, al-though for a number of years her health was such that she was expecting her call at any time, and it was her wish that she might go without a siege of sickness. About 14 years ago she suffered from a fall which left her crippled and a partial shut-in. She missed the fellowship in church worship and sewing circle work in which she was much interested, and enjoyed having people come to her home for singing and worship and was much concerned for the salvation of others. As long as health permitted she followed her occupation of dressmaker, in which she served many friends and neighbors. Serv-ices were held on Feb. 20 from the home of her brother, Elmer Johnson, near Scottdale, and at the Scottdale Mennonite Church, with the home ministers in charge-Daniel Kauffman, A. J. Metzler, and J. L. Horst. Texts used were Isa. 26:3; Mark 14:8. Interment in Alverton Cem-etery.

"It is not death to close
The eye long dimmed by tears,
And wake, in glorious repose
To spend eternal years."

To this union were born 3 sons (Walter of Galt, Gordon who died in infancy; and Carl, at home) and 3 daughters (Edith of Kitchener, Mary at home, and Hannah who died in infancy). Sister Keffer suffered much during the past few years, and at last the Lord has seen best to release her. She gave a good testimony of peace with her Saviour. May we bow in submission to His will. Our loss is her gain. The funeral was held Feb. 18 from her late home in Bloomingdale, to the Cressman Church for services, and the adjoining cemetery for interment. Minis-ters: H. W.

During her illness she gave expression of her peace with God, and of her hope of eternal life. She is survived by 1 niece who lives in Duluth, Minn., and 2 nephews.

Or see that sweet, loving smile;
But he is in a land of sunshine
Where all are happy and well."

Whetzel.-Hettie, daughter of Solomon and Mary (Ritchie) Smith, was born near Bergton, Va., 63 years ago; died at the Rockingham Memorial Hospital Jan. 17, 1942, where she had been a patient for several days. She accepted Christ as her Saviour, united with the Mennon-ite Church many years ago, and remained a faithful member until the Lord called her home. In 1900 she was united in marriage with Joseph Whetzel. She had been in failing health for the last few years, taking treatments at the hospital different times, which seemed to help her feel some better. But this time seemed to be of no avail. "God doeth all things well," and as the close of the day drew nigh, she answered His heavenly call to "Come up higher." She bore her afflictions with patience, never com-plaining, always having a smile for all she met. She was a faithful wife, a loving mother and grandmother, and kind neighbor and friend to all. Besides her husband, she is survived by 2 children (Mrs. Sara Sonifrank of Fulks Run, and David E. Whetzel of Cootes Store), 3 broth-ers (Ash Smith and Perry Smith of Criders, and Hiram J. Smith of Bergton), 5 sisters (Mrs. Daisy Smith of Timberville, Mrs. Virgie Lantz -and Mrs. Lola Snider of Maryland, Mrs. Dora -Minnick of Harrisonburg, and Mrs. Florence Hinkle of Milam, W. Va.), 16 grandchildren, and 10 great-grandchildren. Funeral services were held at Trissels Mennonite Church, with services conducted by Bros. J. H. Turner and Timothy Showalter. Burial in the near-by cem-etery.

"Near to my heart was my dear aunt;
I'll miss her more than words can tell;
A visit in her room, oh! sacred hour.
Then came her Saviour, all was well
As angels sang, Almighty power-
Remembering her last farewell."

Yoder.-Eli, son of John B. and Susan (Wis-ler) Yoder, was born in Mahoning Co., Ohio, March 31, 1858; died at the home of his son (Ray F. Yoder) near Wakarusa, Ind., Feb. 4, 1942; aged 83 y. 10 m. 3 d. As a young man, he came to Elkhart Co., Ind., was married to Elizabeth Freed Jan. 6, 1883, and for almost three score years they together shared the joys and sorrows of life. The greater part of his life was spent on the farm south of Wakarusa. About 28 years ago he moved to Nappanee, where he resided until about 16 months ago when because of failing health they moved to the home of their son where he died. This union was blessed with 3 children (O. Lloyd Yoder, of Mechanicsburg, Pa.; Ray F. Yoder, of near Wakarusa; and Mrs. Roy Chambers, residing on the old homestead near Wakarusa). He is survived by his companion and the 3 children, an aged aunt (Mrs. Martha Wisler of Washingtonville, Ohio), 6 great-grandchildren, and other relatives and friends. Bro. Yoder accepted Christ as his Sav-iour, and united with the Salem Mennonite Church; however, later he transferred his mem-bership to the North Main St. Mennonite con-gregation in Nappanee. He was faithful in his service and was a regular attendant as long as health permitted. Services were conducted Feb. 7 at the Mennonite Church in Nappanee by Bros. Homer F. North and D. A. Yoder. Burial in the North Union Cemetery.

Yoder.-Elsie Catherine, daughter of David and Catherine Kropf, was born near Garden City, Mo., Oct. 31, 1894; died at her home in Garden City, Feb. 13, 1942; aged 47 y. 3 m. 12 d. She grew to womanhood in the commu-nity of her birth, and on Dec. 27, 1917, was married to Ervin Yoder. This union was blessed with 3 sons (Arthur Glenn, who in December, 1941, was called to Sheppard Field Camp at Wichita Falls, Texas; Willard LeRoy, who died Jan. 9, 1937; and David Lincoln at home). Besides her two sons and companion who so tenderly and faithfully cared for her the past sev-eral years of her suffering, she is also survived by 3 brothers and 3 sisters (Edward of Roa-noke, Ill.; Ida, Orvie, Marvin, Mrs. Mary Yoder of Garden City, and Mrs. Anna Ropp of Normal, Ill.; also a large number of other relatives and friends who will miss her presence, and are sharing their love and sympathy with her bereft companion and family. In her youth she was converted, baptized, and united with the Syc-amore Grove Mennonite Church near Garden City, and passed away in this faith. She suf-fered much the past several years, and in the winter of 1939 became afflicted with a serious infection in the blood stream, followed by ar-thritis which caused her to be almost helpless. Medical and hospital assistance were given and in November, 1939, she with her husband and small son went to Phoenix, Ariz., where her condition somewhat improved. In June, 1940, they returned to Missouri. Her illness was se-vere and her suffering intense, but her going was calm and peaceful. We are unable to understand why one so young should be called but we can only say, "Thy will be done." She has left us precious memories. The admirable character-istics of her life we shall ever cherish. Services were held at the home conducted by Bro. W. E. Helmuth, and at the Sycamore Grove Church by Bro. I. G. Hartzler. Burial in Clearfork Cemetery.

He was the treasurer of the mission funds of the congregation and a member of the Mission Board of the Conference district for twenty-six years. Feb. 20, he was on his way to help haul wood for the church. When he had gone less than a mile from home an accident occurred in which he fell in front of the wagon and was dragged about 30 or 40 rods on a crushed stone road, very badly injuring his right arm and leg which, with the weak condition of his heart, caused his death.

Though David's life was short on earth, he brought much joy into the home and endeared himself to all who knew him. Funeral services at the Mennonite Church near Eureka conducted by Bros. Ezra B. Yordy and John Harnish.

"God needed one more angel
Among His shining band,
So He reached down from Heaven
And clasped our darling's hand.
Sweet little darling, too pure to stay,
God in His wisdom took away;
Not from our hearts, not from our love,
But to dwell with the angels in Heaven above."
