For the last year he has been a silent missionary worker, sending out hundreds of Gospel tracts by mail. He was of a quiet disposition and was always ready to give aid to those in need, ready to serve when called upon.

Bear.-Bro. John F. Bear was born Nov. 2, 1852; died Nov. 9, 1926, at his home (where he always resided) at Mechanicsville about midway between East Petersburg and Manheim, Pa.; aged 74 y. 7 d. On June 27, 1874, he was married to Fanny Gingrich, who survives. This union was blessed with three daughters, one of whom preceded him to the spirit world in 1878 aged two years. A son-in-law, (Bro. Levi H. Hostetter), who shared the home with them, also preceded him in death, June 29, 1912. The remaining daughters (Leona, wife of Ephraim M. Kauffman, and Mrs. Grace Hostetter) survive. One brother (Samuel Bear) is the last surviving member of a large family. Bro. Bear was always an active man, despite the fact that he had a leaking heart for years. He enjoyed his home and life in general, but we believe always with the thought in view, that at anytime, he may be suddenly called to meet his Maker. This however, was not God's way, for about four weeks before his death his heart began giving him trouble and one complication after another appeared to distress him, although not suffering pain. During his sickness he often expressed himself ready to go when the Lord sees fit. About 27 years ago he accepted Christ as his Savior, united with the Mennonite church at East Petersburg, and remained faithful to the last. His place in the service was seldom vacant. Funeral services were conducted Nov. 12, at the home, followed by services at the East Petersburg Mennonite Church, in charge of Brethren Frank N. Kreider, and John Gochnauer. Text, Jno. 11: 28, latter clause. The body was laid to rest in the adjoining cemetery.

On Easter day, April 16, 1921, Bro. and Sister Yoder were received into the Mennonite Church of Pratum by right hand of Christian fellowship. The unassuming Christian honesty, love, and good will to all has been the outstanding feature by which we remember him. While living in Salem the deceased would find quite a little of his time occupied on his farm near Hubbard. He retired as usual on Friday evening and was found with closed eyes and hands abreast lifeless next morning. Apparently he passed away while in sleep without a struggle. Like Enoch he walked with God and was not for God took him. He leaves his wife, 4 sons (Perry M., Levy A., Ira M., Sam. S.), and 2 daughters (Nellie Johnson and Bessie Yoder), 14 grandchildren, 2 brothers, 3 sisters, and a host of friends and relatives. The funeral was held at the Zion Church and his body was interred in the graveyard near by. Bro. Troyer made the opening by reading 1 Thes. 4: 13-18 and prayer. Bro. S. S. Baumgartner read the obituary and spoke on the text, "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain" and Bro. J. M. Franz spoke briefly on, "I am the resurrection and the life."

In his early boyhood days he united with the Allensville congregation and was a faithful, consistent member until death called him home. During his sickness he seemed to be conscious of the fact that he could not recover and made full provision for his wife and family before he passed away. He was fully resigned, saying many times during his last sickness that he would much rather die and go home to God than get well. He was anointed with oil in the name of the Lord and a number of prayers were offered in his behalf, but God called him home from this world of sorrow and suffering and he died happy in the Lord.

He did light work, working most of the time until two weeks before his death, when he took sick with neuralgia and pneumonia. His suffering during his last sickness was very severe at times, till death relieved him of all pain and earthly cares and the Father called him home. He had the work of the Church close at heart and his seat was seldom vacant when health permitted him to attend. He served the Church as janitor and trustee for a number of years and gave much of his time in repairing and caring for the church buildings and grounds. When a young man he united with the Church and remained a faithful, consistent member till death. On Feb. 1, 18876, he was united in marriage with Fanny R Kauffman, and they spent a happy married life together. There were born to this union five boys and four girls, three of whom died in infancy.

He visited much, won many friends, was very sociable, always remembering the children he met, and also ready to help any one in need. This was one of his outstanding characteristics. He never held a grudge or ill-will against any. He was converted the year he was married, joined the Mennonite Church, and lived up to all the light he had. Those left to mourn are two full sisters (Barbara Lund and Magdalena Plank), 2 half-sisters (Eva Wagler and Adina Heiser), 4 half-brothers (Adam, Christian, Simon, and John), 6 children (Mary Isaabelle Neuhauser, Samuel B., Emanuel J., David S., Benjamin J., and Amos E.), 39 grandchildren, and 81 great-grandchildren.

M. Weaver of Harper, assisted by the pastor of the M. E. Church. Text, Genesis 5: 24. He was then laid to rest beside his wife, to wait the final resurrection.

"A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled."

Note from a family historian: "I was delighted to find this obit of a maternal great aunt. However, the birth year is wrong. It should be 1865 according to family historian Walter E. Stuckey. The 1865 date is corroborated, also, by her age at death and her age when the family immigrated which was 1872, and the fact that she was the youngest of nine. Her siblings were born from 1852-1862."
