He was one of 12 half-brothers and sisters and 6 full brothers and sisters. Of this large family only 2 remain: Mrs Lizzie Stoltzfus and Bishop E B Stoltzfus. When 23 years of age he was married to Emma Rich of Kansas. He was always actively interested in the work of the Church, conducting mission Sunday schools and did lay-preaching in the hill country near Bremen, O. At the age of 47 (1908) he was ordained to the ministry. For sixteen years he was superintendent and pastor of the Mennonite Gospel Mission in Lima, Ohio. Illness handicapped his usefulness in later years, but his eagerness to witness for Christ was ever young. His hold on the boundless mercy of God was firm when other powers wrestled with his spirit. Pouring out his heart to God was his greatest consolation and his great strength. Out of the immediate family one child (Lawrence David) preceded him in death. Those who yet remain are his wife (Emma); Lydia (Mrs E B Snyder). Fanny (Mrs W B Weaver), Rose (Mrs O R Byler), Will (ordained missionary, Aleppo, Syria), Frank (ordained missionary, Bulgaria, home on furlough), Eli, and Lena. Besides these, 20 grandchildren share our loss. We mourn not as those who have no hope. We treasure the spirit of a dear one who has left us a good example of an abiding faith, of a glorious hope, and of a deep redeeming love. Funeral services were held on Dec 9 at the home by N E Troyer and at the Bethel Mennonite Church by S E Allgyer and John Y King. Burial in Hooley Cemetery.
