The last few days she sang with her friends of her departure, and when unable to sing she requested others to do so. At times she gave forth expressions of joy, praise and prayer. She leaves a sorrowing husband and four children. May there be a reuniting of them all with two children who have preceded her.

Clara's short stay here was a blessing to many. She was an affectionate child, and to know her was but to love her, and to be loved. She had many friends here, but we have the assurance that she is now enjoying the presence of Him of whom she loved so much to sing in her favorite song, "There is not a friend like the lowly Jesus, No not one, No not one." Truly she is missed at home, in school, and in Sabbath school, but the Good Shepherd had need of another lamb, and He has a right to "the fairest flowers of the garden," so we humbly bow in submission to His will. Funeral services were held at Bethel M. H. in West Liberty. Services were conducted by J. B. Smith and C. H. Blyer. Interment in West Liberty cemetery.

Within about a half year her parents, have laid away a daughter-in-law, a son and a daughter. Deceased leaves her husband and infant daughter, parents, five brothers and two sisters. She had not identified herself with the church, but was ready and only waiting for her husband. May this be a call to all not to put off the matter of salvation for a more convenient season. May God give grace to the bereaved husband and to make his calling and election sure and to bring up the little motherless child in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Funeral services at the M. H. by Bish. Martin Rutt, Bish. Jacob N. Brubacher and Pre. Ephraim Nissly, and at the schoolhouse by Jacob Martin, John Wolgamuth and Jones Mumma.
BY A FRIEND.

PRE. JACOB L. WINEY
was born in Juniata Co., Pa., Jan. 8th, 1861, died near Birmingham, Jackson Co., Kansas, April 19th, 1902. His sickness was erysipelas followed by cerebral meningitis. He suffered intensely for about a week. His age was 41 Y., 3 M., 11 D. He was united in marriage to Hannah Kauffman of East Salem, Pa., on Dec. 22d 1887. To this union were born four children,-two boys and two girls. One of the girls died in infancy. Bro. Winey united with the Mennite church in the Spring of 1886, was ordained to the ministry Dec. 8th, 1887 at Peabody, Kansas. The last seven years he had charge of the church at Cedar Vale, Jackson Co., Kans. At the Kansas-Nebraska Conference in the fall of 1900 he was elected District Evangelist, holding the same position at the time of his death.
He was consecrated to his work and laboured faithfully as well as successfully. His last labors at Spring Valley, McPherson Co., were especially crowned with success, about 25 souls confessing their Savior. He was never happier than when he could be at work for the Lord. He had the salvation of sinners at heart, and the "abundant life" to be manifested amongst the children of God.
Though consciousness was taken away from him most of the time during his last sickness, yet the last day of his life he was mostly conscious, and but fifteen minutes before he passed away, he was asked by his companion, whether he could praise the Lord now, to which he responded "Yes, Praise the Lord, Hallelujah! These were the last words he said. The ministerial force of Kansas is weakened, one of their family is gone. The Mennonite church loses a faithful worker for the cause of Christ; the family a kind and loving husband and father, and his neighbors a pious, honest, and kind neighbor and friend.
The funeral was held from his late home on Monday afternoon Apr. 21st, after which the remains were taken by rail to Peabody, Kansas, where another service was held at the Catlin M. H. the next day, Apr. 22d. Buried in the adjoining burial ground. Services were conducted at both places by Tillman M. Erb, of Newton, Kans., from Psa. 116: 15 on the 21st, and from Num. 23:10 last part on the 22d. May God comfort the bereaved family.

The child's sickness began with mumps; hopes of recovery were however entertained. A relapse terminating in congestion of the brains and lungs was the immediate cause of death.
