Of the angel drawing near,
That removed from earth to heaven,
Our father we loved so dear."

Kerler.-Michael Kerler was born Feb. 4, 1851, in the city of Inglestadt, Germany; died at his home in Beemer, Nebraska, June 4, 1934; aged 83 y. 4 m. While still a young man he left his native land for America, coming to Tiskilwa, Ill., at which place he was married to Caroline Zimylin, in 1891, who preceded him in death June 9, 1921. To this union were born 6 children, 2 daughters having died in early childhood. There remain 2 daughters and 2 sons, as follows: Phebe (wife of Joe Birky), Lizzie (wife of D. E. Wittrig), John and Julius, all of this community; also 9 grandchildren, 1 brother, 1 sister, and many other relatives and friends. Bro. Kerler was converted and baptized into the faith of his parents, while yet in his native land. Upon coming to America, he united with the Mennonite Church in 1890, in which faith he lived and died, having the privilege of seeing all his children accept the same faith. Bro. Kerler frequently expressed his desire and readiness to depart from this life and to be with God, which gives us the confidence that he was prepared, and is now enjoying the reward of the faith. Funeral services were held June 6, conducted by P. O. Oswald and D. Z. Birky. Interment in the Beemer Cemetery.

Funeral services were conducted May 26 at Mellinger's Mennonite Church by Elmer Martin and David L. Landis. Text, Psa. 73:23, 24. Burial in adjoining cemetery.

"We miss thee, loving father;

But because we saw thee suffering,
We're glad Christ called thee home."

That lies within all the while."

Hoover.-Susannah, daughter of Joseph and Mary Rohrer, was born in Stark Co., O., May 25, 1839; died at the home of her son (Samuel R. Hoover) in Wakarusa, Ind., May 5, 1934; aged 94 y. 11 m. 10 d. At the age of 12 she moved with her parents in a covered wagon to Elkhart Co., Ind., and settled on the Rohrer homestead near Southwest. In 1857 she was united in marriage with David L. Hoover, who preceded her in death 21 years ago. To this union were born 6 children, 3 of whom died in infancy. One son (Noah R,) died 30 years ago at the age of 31. One daughter (Mrs. Mary Blough) died 15 years ago at the age of 62. One son (Samuel R.) the only surviving member of the family, resides in Wakarusa. There are also 11 grandchildren, and 24 great-grandchildren. Mother Hoover was the last of 9 children to answer the summons of death, and her husband was the last of 12 children when he passed away 21 years ago last November. In early life she united with the Mennonite Church and later became a follower of the Pentecostal faith. In her declining years she was in moderate health, until last August when she suffered a stroke from which she never fully recovered. Funeral services were held May 7 at the home, followed by further services at the Yellow Creek Mennonite Church, by Charles Wright assisted by Jonas Loucks.

Derstein.-Katie, wife of Harvey H. Derstein of Souderton, Pa., died suddenly at the Grand View Hospital, Sellersville, Pa., June 2; aged 50 y. 3 m. 13 d. Her death came unexpected as she was eating her supper at the hospital where she had undergone an operation more than two weeks previous. She had been improving steadily throughout the last week, but acute dilation of the heart caused her sudden death. She was a daughter of the late Ephraim and Hannah (Clemmens) Freed, being a native of Franconia Tp., Pa. Besides her husband, she is survived by 6 daughters: Hannah (wife of Howard Freed), Blanche (wife of Granville Moyer), and Mamie (wife of Garret Nice), all residing near Souderton; Irene, Katie, and Naomi at home.

Services were conducted by Bros. Jacob Moyer, Elmer Moyer, Wilson Moyer, and Arthur Ruth. Text (chosen by the family), Phil. 1:21-26.

"He knows the real Golden Seasons;
He knows when it is well for us;
So He finds us true and sincere,
Not false or seemly virtues;
He comes before we are aware,
And makes us glad with Heavenly fare."

Leaman.-Elmer D. Leaman was born Oct. 1, 1878; died at his home in Ronks, Pa., May 20, 1934; aged 55 y. 7 m. 19 d. He was a member of the Paradise Mennonite Church, and was a Sunday school teacher for many years. He was of a quiet disposition. He leaves a loving companion (Nettie A. Hershey), and these children: Elva (wife of B. C. Spence), Reba (wife of Abram G. Herr), and Irvin at home. A daughter (Mary) and a son (Hershey) preceded him in death. Also surviving are 7 grandchildren, 2 sisters, and many other relatives and friends. Father had not been well for the last few years, and on Aug. 8, 1933, he suffered a stroke, and was well enough to be around and attend Sunday school and church services again, until May 20 when he had a second stroke, from which he never regained consciousness. After the first stroke, he was able to be around, and was very patient, looking forward to getting still stronger, but God saw fit to afflict him again and he fell asleep, never to wake again in this world. We believe he is sweetly resting in that home above. Oh, how we miss him! We cannot understand, but humbly we submit to Him who doeth all things well. Funeral services were held May 23 at the home, by Jacob Mellinger, and at the Paradise Mennonite Church, by Ira Hershey and Abram Martin. Interment in the adjoining cemetery.

Pletcher.-Joseph J. Pletcher, eighth member of a family of eleven children, was born in Whitley Co., Ind., Jan. 8, 1853; died May 29, 1934, aged 81 y. 4 m. 21 d. While in his youth he with his parents moved to Elkhart Co., Ind. There he grew to manhood and during this time he accepted Christ as his Savior and united with the Mennonite Church to which he was always a loyal member. While in middle life he traveled much in the central and western part of the United States, which helped to give him a wide and varied experience. He with his wife and son moved to Oscoda Co., Mich., in the summer of 1904 and bought an unimproved piece of land from which through hard work and pioneering they developed their present home. He always took much interest in the welfare and development of the community. When the township in which he lived was organized he named it Clinton. Those who survive him are his wife (Nora) and 3 children (Mrs. Charles Schrock of Elkhart, Ind., Frank of Fairview, Mich., and Roxie at home). He also leaves 2 brothers (Abraham of Goshen, and Samuel of Lowell, Ind.), 1 sister (Mary Kauffman of New Carlisle, Ind.), 5 grandchildren, and 4 great-grandchildren. Funeral services were held at the home and at the Fairview Church. Text, Psa. 23:6, latter clause. Bro. Menno Esch officiated, assisted by Bro. Frank Mitchell. Interment was at the Fairview Cemetery.

"Gone! But you have left us only
For a better world above;
There to wait our coming over,
Resting safely in God's love."

Hertzler.-Menno Simon, son of Henry P. and Anna (Shenk) Hertzler, was born at Denbigh, Va., June 18, 1910; died (by drowning) May 24, 1934; aged 23 y. 11 m. 6 d. He accepted Christ as his Savior at the age of 14 years and united with the Mennonite Church, in which faith he died. Menno's cheerful disposition won for him friends wherever he went. He was a special friend to the little children and old folks as well as the young people. He will be sadly missed in the home where he was so much needed, and in the community. Our last picture of him in life was "with a cheery smile and a wave of the hand," as he left his home and though 'we, who will always yearn for the old-time step and the glad return-we cannot say that he is dead-he is just away." In his last hours, when he and his companions were striving to reach the shore, we believe in their prayer for help that the Great Pilot who hears the cries of His children landed them safe on the other shore. He leaves his parents, 4 brothers and 5 sisters (Arthur and Milford of College Park, Md.; Lois, Ruth, Harry, Osie, Oliver, Edith, and Dora May at home), grandparents (Pre. Daniel Shenk and wife and Pre. Isaac Hertzler), 2 nephews, also a large host of other relatives and friends in the community and other states. Services were conducted in the home on May 30 by Bro. George R. Brunk and at the Warwick River Church where joint services were held for him and his cousin Wilmer Shenk by Bro. Brunk assisted by Bro. Clayton Bergy of Fentress, Va., in the presence of a large concourse of friends and neighbors.

For though from time and place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to meet my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.

Shenk.-Wilmer Andrew, son of Levi J. and Amanda M. (Yoder) Shenk, was born near Denbigh, Virginia, June 1, 1911; died (by drowning) May 24, 1934, aged 22 y. 11 m. 22 d. When nearly 10 years old he accepted Jesus as his Savior, united with the Mennonite Church, and was a faithful member until death. We believe all who knew Wilmer will remember his kind smile, his quiet yet cheerful disposition which won for him many friends. Heaven seem so much nearer, our heavenly Father and Jesus, our merciful Savior so much dearer, we cannot think of Wilmer being far away among strangers but has really gone to home Sweet Home for all the redeemed. A further account of his tragic is given elsewhere in this issue of the Gospel Herald. The family very keenly feels the loss of one so faithful and helpful both temporally and spiritually. Surviving are the father, mother, and the following brothers and sisters: Lester J., Mary F., Margaret M., Mildred V., John M., Miriam G., and Martha Alice.
Twenty-one years ago Wilmer was rescued by his mother from the flames of their burning home in which his sister Mabel R. perished. An infant brother (Homer V.) also preceded him in death. An aged grandfather (Bishop John M. Shenk of Elida, Ohio) also survives, and many other relatives and friends here and elsewhere. Song "Hiding in Thee" with scripture 1 Thess. 4:8-18 were used at the house and joint service followed at the Warwick River Mennonite Church by Bro. Geo. R. Brunk, and Bro. Clayton Bergy. Burial near by.
A very striking find was made when the following lines were found (included in a typewritten song) on top of Wilmer's valued and preserved papers which we believe were experienced by the two drowning cousins (Menno Hertzler) as was verified by the one who survived from the tragedy, as the last he heard of them after a long swim for a vanishing shore was their earnest entreaty with God and their Savior.

"Jesus! What a help in sorrow!
While the billows o'er me roll,
He, my comfort, helps my soul.
Jesus! What a guide and keeper!
While the tempest still is high.
Storms about me, night o'ertakes me,
He, my Pilot, hears my cry."
By the family.

Mast.-Ellen Rebecca, daughter of Christian and Mary (Moiser) Mast, was born in St. Joseph Co., Mich., July 1, 1860; died at the Elkhart General Hospital, June 6, 1934; aged 73 y. 11 m. 5 d. She was united in marriage with Jacob Mast Dec. 7, 1879, and spent the larger part of her married life near her birth place, in LaGrange Co., Ind. To this union were born 3 sons (Elmer of Carmi, Ill., Ira of Elkhart, Ind., and Albert of Wakarusa, Ind.); 3 daughters (Mrs. Allen Summers of South Bend, Ind., Mrs. Maurice Stutzman of Goshen, Ind., and Mrs. Virgil Culp of Mishawaka, Ind.). All of these survive her except Mrs. Culp who died in December, 1932. The husband died Nov. 11, 1904. Aside from the immediate family, Sister Mast leaves 17 grandchildren, 2 great-grandchildren, 4 brothers, 5 sisters, and many other relatives and friends. She was the first of 10 children to be called away, although the youngest is past 60. Sister Mast had been afflicted with what is commonly known as shaking palsy for 5 years, from which she suffered much. At times this was so severe that she would get out of bed at night and walk the floor of her bedroom. More than 5 weeks before her death she was walking in her room, fell, and broke the socket of her hip. This increased her sufferings intensely until death relieved her. Even before her fall she frequently said that she wished that the Lord would take her home. Bro. and sister Mast were both members of the Mennonite Church and lived exemplary lives, for many years being among the mainstays of a small Mennonite congregation located at Pretty Prairie, near their home. Funeral services were held at the Prairie Street Church, Elkhart, Ind., conducted by D. A. Yoder and J. S. Hartzler. Burial at the Prairie Street Cemetery, near by.

Since his 86th birthday he read the Bible through, and in the last few months read 205 chapters. He was never heard to speak unkindly of any one, nor to any one. His life and conduct was always in keeping with his profession. During the last few weeks he suffered much pain and his constant prayer was, "My Jesus, come, come;" a worthy example of Christian living to us all.

No pain there, neither suffering nor sorrow;
But all through the endless to-morrow
To enjoy the presence of Jesus
Forever through the long, endless ages."
