On Dec. 7, 1897, he was united in marriage to Eliza Gingerich, who preceded him in death in July, 1947. Surviving are 5 sons (Frank, Omar J., and Eldon, of Kalona, Iowa; John R. and Emery of Washington, Iowa), 3 daughters (Mrs. Fred Frey, Mrs. Amos Hostetler, and Mrs. Walter Marner, of Kalona, Iowa), 23 grandchildren, 5 great-grandchildren, and one sister (Mattie Kempf, Kalona, Iowa). In death he is preceded by his parents, companion, one brother, and one sister (Mrs. Valentine Swartzendruber, Hyrdro, Okla.). In his youth he accepted Christ as his Saviour and united with the Mennonite Church. He was a faithful and active member of the East Union congregation, serving on various church boards, as trustee, and was chairman of the building committee, when the present church was built. The last church service he attended was on Dec. 7, just four days before he suffered a light stroke. He was a faithful attendant at church services but he retired from active life in 1940 when his faith began to fail. Funeral services were held from the East Union Mennonite Church, in charge of D. J. Fisher and A. Lloyd Swartzendruber, with burial in the family lot in the adjoining cemetery.
