Eimen, was born near Wayland, Ia., June. 14, 1878; died at his late home in Kalona, Ia., Oct. 18, 1940; aged 62 y. 4 m. 14 d. He is preceded in death by his parents, 3 sisters, and 2 brothers. When he was 7 years old his mother died. When he was 12, Bro. and Sister Joel Swartzendruber of Parnell, Ia., opened their hearts and home to him. A few years later they moved to Clarion, Ia., where he enjoyed the hospitality and blessings of their Christian home. Here he grew to manhood, and on Dec. 9, 1902, he was united in marriage to Alice Yoder of Clarion. To this union 1 daughter Mildred (now Mrs. Lloyd Knepp) was born. After their marriage they moved to Johnson Co., Ia., locating on a farm near Kalona, where they lived 4 years before moving into Kalona, where he engaged in business, with which he was associated until about Aug., 1939, when his health began to fail. He accepted Christ when a young man and united with the Mennonite Church, to which he was loyal until death. He was of a quiet and cheerful disposition. His friends were those who knew him. In his business relations he always believed in and practiced the Golden Rule, by which he gained the respect and admiration of his many friends. His passing is mourned by his companion and daughter, 2 foster grandchildren, in whom he took especial delight and interest; 3 brothers (Peter D., of Sharon; Daniel of Frytown, and David of Wellman, Ia.), 3 sisters (Mrs. M. S. Ropp of Kalona; Mrs. S. S. Troyer of Honesville, Ohio, and Fannie of Wayland), and a host of relatives and friends. But we need not mourn as those without hope. Funeral services were held Oct. 20, from the East Union Mennonite Church, with burial in the East Union Cemetery, conducted by Bros. Edd Diener and D. J. Fisher. "No one heard the footsteps Of the angel drawing near. Who took from earth to heaven, The one we loved so dear."
