The obit has the date of marriage wrong. PRE. ABRAHAM MAST. Abraham Mast was born in Walnut Creek Twp., Holmes Co., Ohio, Jan. 1st, 1821; died of heart disease, June 8, 1898; aged 77 years, 5 months and 7 days. His father Jacob Mast, of German descent, was born in Somerset Co., Pa. In 1812 he removed his family to Ohio and entered a quarter section of land in what is now Walnut Creek Twp. On this farm Abraham was born and reared. He early took an active part in the af-fairs of the Amish Church, having been ordained to the ministry when but 27 years of age and served the Church in that capacity until the messenger of death relieved him of duty. Years ago, when the Sunday school was yet in its infancy and confronted by many difficulties and oppositions, his influence and instrumentality succeeded, by much fervent prayer, and meditating upon God's word, in establishing a Sunday school at this place, which noble institutions throughout the land are leading many young souls to seek and live a life that is becoming to God and man. His death was very sudden and unexpected, having had but very few attacks of sickness in his lifetime. The sickness at the time of his death lasted but a few moments. After his daily routine on Tuesday evening, June 7, he retired as usual in good spirits, rising the next morning complaining with a little cough and short breathing, which seemed to increase and in less than an hour he lay a silent corpse. Thus passed away another one of God's servants to his reward. Oh! may but his prayers and admonitions that he so diligently offered for the souls of men and the future welfare of the Church have rooted in the lowest depth of human hearts and bear fruit abundantly. Many preachers have favorite pas-sages in Scripture, which they frequently quote from the pulpit. Will quote a few of his: "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." "Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with loving kindness and tender mercies." "Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." On June 2d, 1811, he was united in marriage with Anna Beachy. Lived in matrimony 57 years and 6 days. To this union were born eight sons and ten daughters of whom one son, two daughters, twenty-two grandchildren and eight great grandchildren preceded him to eternity. He leaves an aged and devoted widow, fifteen children, one hundred and one grand children, seventy great-grandchildren and many friends to mourn his departure. His remains were laid to rest in the Walnut Creek cemetery, June 11, followed by a large concourse of people. Funeral services were conducted by J. H. Miller, Fred Mast and Nobart Sprohl. Text, 2 Tim, 4:5 -8. Source: Herald of Truth, Vol. XXXV, No. 13, July 1, 1898
