When a young boy he moved with his parents to Allen county, where he spent the remainder of his days. The country was then new and in the clearing up of the land he necessarily had to endure many hardships and exposures. He was joined in marriage with Jane Sakemiller (who died four years ago), Jan. 23, 1848. They united with the Mennonite church about 45 years ago. To them were born twelve children, of whom three sons and one daughter preceded him to the world beyond. There are also 46 grandchildren, of whom six are dead, and 10 great-grandchildren. In the year 1845 he was ordained to the office of deacon, in which capacity he faithfully served the church nearly 40 years. He was deeply concerned for the welfare of the church, often spending sleepless nights meditating on the things concerning her spiritual welfare. He often deplored and grieved over the church he loved, as he saw many of the members drifting into pride and worldliness and into methods of work which he could not sanction and which he felt were tending to the corruption and desolation of the church. He expressed his determination to contend more earnestly than ever against these things. In his efforts to maintain the church in its purity and to contend for the faith once delivered to the saints and keep in the ways of the fathers, he met with much opposition and his life was often made sad; yet he bore all with patience and meekness, and being fully resigned to the will of God, he passed away, as we believe, to receive the crown of righteousness at the right hand of God, where we, if we hold out faithful unto the end, may meet the dear father and brother again in the fullness of eternal glory. Funeral services were conducted by John F. Funk of Elkhart, Ind., John M. Shenk and C.B. Brenneman, from the text, 2 Tim. 4:6-8, which was selected by the family. He suffered twelve weeks with nervous debility and heart disease. - David & Carolyn (Mount) Plank
