Quoting from one of his last letters: "Camp life gets quite monotonous sometimes, but there is a bright side to every cloud.

And our loss we deeply feel;

And his voice is stilled;
But his place over yonder
Now is being filled.

Imhoff. --- Jacob, son of John and Mary Imhoff, was born near Metamora, Ill., Nov. 9, 1878; died at his home in Washington, Ill., July 2, 1943; aged 64 y. 7 m. 23 d. He spent his boyhood days in the vicinity of his birth, later moving with his parents to a farm near Lowpoint, Ill. Feb. 9, 1904, he united in marriage with Katie Schertz, Washington, Ill. To this union were born 4 children. Surviving are his companion and 3 children (Tilman, Glenwood, Orvetta, all of Washington, Ill.), 2 grandchildren, 3 brothers, and 3 sisters (John, Roanoke, Ill.; Chris, Eureka; Samuel, Lowpoint; Mrs. D. H. Schertz, Eureka; Mrs. P. B. Schrock, Lowpoint; and Mrs. H. R. Schertz, Metamora). In 1935 he retired from active farming and moved to Washington. Although tentatively retired, he found much satisfaction in keeping employed in work that gave him an opportunity to contact the public. He was engaged in this work the day of his death. Arriving at his home the evening of July 2, he complained of a slight pain in his chest. After eating the evening meal as usual, he retired to an adjoining room to lie down to rest. In a short while he passed away. In youth he accepted Christ as his Saviour, united with the Metamora Mennonite Church, remaining a faithful member until death. His faithful attendance at church services and his interest in the work of the Church and Sunday school were much appreciated and gave evidence of his spiritual life and experience. His cheerful and sympathetic disposition won the admiration of all who knew him. He will be greatly missed in the home, the Church, and the community.

"The call was sudden, the shock severe.
We little thought the end so near;
And only those who have lost can tell
The loss of loved ones without farewell."

Rhodes. --- Rhoda Elizabeth Rhodes, daughter of the late John C. and Mary Payne Wenger, was born near Dayton Va., Dec. 15, 1876, where she spent her entire life. She was baptized upon confession of faith in early life and was a faithful member of the Mennonite Church until death. She was married to R. C. Rhodes, also of Dayton. To this union 4 children were born: Mrs. Mary Shank, Mt. Clinton, Va.; Mrs. Mable Keser, D.T. Rhodes, and Willie Rhodes, all of near Dayton. They also had one foster daughter, Mrs. Hazel Sandy Hanger, Harrisonburg. She was in failing health for a number of years. Although her husband and family fondly provided all the care medical science has to offer, the improvement she made seemed only temporary. Her illness was due to a condition of the spine and backbone. She cheerfully bore untold suffering. For eleven weeks she was suspended in the middle of her body with a weight to her head and to her feet. The source of her strength was very evident for the Bible she used bears the markings of many cherished promises. Her life of abundant love has taught us many lessons for it was rich in deeds of mercy and kindness. The funeral was held at Weaver's Mennonite Church, Harrisonburg, Va. Services were conducted by Bros. Henry Keener, Joseph Hostetter, and Amos Martin. Interment was in the adjoining cemetery.

Our tears could not heal you,
Though love did its best.
Now Jesus in mercy
Has given you rest.

Since it is God's holy will
We must be parted for awhile,
In sweet submission all in one
We'll say, "Our Father's will be done."
