Read More	Christian Warey was born in Mifflin Co., Pa., Aug. 5, 1832; died at his home in Kalona, Ia., Sept. 3, 1914; aged 82 y. 1 m. 25 d. Lived in matrimony 59 y. 11 m. 15 d. with Mary Troyer since Oct 14, 1855. To this union were born 2 sons and 1 daughter, John and Cris, and Mrs. J. B. Yoder, all living in and near Kalona, Ia. These with their aged mother, 12 grandchildren, and 23 great-grandchildren, and a host of friends, mourn his departure. Funeral services were held at the East Union Mennonite Church near Kalona, Ia., Oct. 4, 1914, conducted by D. J. Fisher and S. C. Yoder of the home congregation and S. E. Allgyer of West Liberty, Ohio. This was one of the most largely attended services in the history of the community. Remains were interred in the cemetery near by. In 1864 he was ordained as minister in the Pretty Prairie Amish Mennonite Church near LaGrange, Indiana. In 1884 he moved to Kalona, Iowa and was ordained as first bishop of East Union in which capacity he served wenty-nine years and began a work that has since grown into the East and West Union congregations with a membership of more than 500 souls. His long life was one of usefulness and activity, and his strong personality endeared him to all who knew him. Death which was caused by the infirmities of old age came as a welcome relief to him. He had on a number of occasions expressed a desire "to depart and be with Christ which is far better."
