She was the oldest daughter of Noah and Lydia Lantz who preceded her to the spirit world. On Dec. 23, 1890, she was united in marriage to Enos Hartzler and has since lived at her late residence near Topeka, Ind. Her 23 years of wedded life have been years of happiness brought about by her sweet disposition and her husband's continued readiness to minister to her needs.
She has been a sufferer from lung trouble for 6 years, and during this time she was very patient, never complaining-"patient in tribulation, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord." With Paul she could say, "I have fought a good fight," fighting for life to mother the two sons, Dana and Leland, entrusted to them. "I have kept the faith," she became a Christian early in life and has ever since lived a consistent Christian life in the Mennonite Church. "Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of life."

She was afflicted with dropsy and creeping paraylsis and was a constant sufferer for three years. During all her suffering, which was very severe at times, she never complained of her lot but bore it all patiently. She said she would rather go home and be at rest but she wanted to wait till God thought it best. She was a kind, loving wife and mother and we mourn because of her absence. But it makes heaven dearer to us to know that another loved one is there waiting for us to come.

When an affection of the heart apprised her that her earthly course was nearly run, she arranged her temporal affairs and then calmly and patiently awaited God's time.

On the morning of his death he arose apparently in his usual health, and was helping at the morning work, getting things ready to go to Sunday school and church services, when he was suddenly stricken down with paralysis of the brain. He was the oldest child in the family, and was a great help to his parents, taking an active interest in their work and was always very obedient and industrious. Though morally a very good child, he felt the need of a Savior, and during the meetings held last November by Bro. Amos Geigley, he confessed Christ and joined the Church, and lived an exemplary life to the end. He attended all the services regularly and always listened intently to what was being taught, and when requested to do something in the Y. P. B. Meetings he did the work assigned to him in a meek and quiet way. He will be greatly missed in the services by the minister, Sunday school workers, and his young associates, but most of all will he be missed by his parents and aged grandparents and 2 brothers and 2 sisters. Though we all feel the loss of one we dearly loved, we are comforting ourselves with the thought that Jesus loved him more and has taken him to Himself to be forever free from the dangers and cares of earth. Services and burial at Martin's M. H. near Waterloo, Ont., on Wednesday, the 26th, by the brethren, E. S. Bauman, and Abr. Gingerich. This is the third sudden death in this community within a few months; one an aged pilgrim, one in middle life, and this young brother. Surely the Lord is calling to all to prepare for heaven before we pass into an endless eternity, where no preparation can be made.

He was a great sufferer for the last eleven months with cancerous tumors, although it was only the last three months that he could not conceal his great sufferings, which he bore with patience. All was done to relieve his sufferings and heal him of his disease, yet with all that human hands could do with the best of medical skill, he could not get relief but was healed only through death. Though resigned yet he had great concern about the future of his three little girls and his companion who was his constant nurse at home and at the hospital, not leaving him to attend to household duties, as the brother said, "Stay with me, our days together will not he many." So she waited and watched over him till he fell asleep in Jesus. Only three hours before he died he admonished his wife and sister from John 14, which he asked to be read to him and also to sing for him. When his companion endeavored to read for him he spoke on different clauses, when he calmly fell asleep. Funeral services were conducted by Bros. Abram Herr, D. N. Lehman and D. N. Gish.

He leaves his bosom companion (who was before marriage Fannie Leaman) and three little daughters (one little daughter having died in infancy), besides a brother and sister and many sorrowing relatives, especially the aged father and mother-in-law, and an invalid sister-in-law to whom he was always a great comfort and administered to their wants in many ways and only those that know him will know how we miss him. We know he has gone to meet the loved ones gone before and we know our loss is his gain.
Our brother is gone, how sad to say,
The Angel Death took him away;
No one can fill his place we know,
But God Himself can grace bestow.
