Horst, nee Stauffer, was born near Manheim, Pa., April 22, 1854, died near Peabody, Kans., Dec 1, 1915; aged 61 y. 7 m. 14 d. The above were married at Maugansville, Md., Dec. 31, 1872. To this union were born 14 children, 9 of whom survive their parents. They are also survived by 11 grandchildren. Both gave their hearts to God and united with the Mennonite Church in their youth and remained loyal to the faith until death. Bro. Horst was ordained to the ministry at the age of 36 and served the Church faithfully in that capacity for nearly a quarter of a century, Sister Horst supporting her husband in his high calling. They were married, young, always lived close to each other in association as well as in mutual interest, and they were not long parted in death. Bros. Horst's death was very sudden and unexpected. He had spent the forenoon in town on business, returned for late dinner, ate a hearty meal as usual and while in the act of pushing his chair back from the table preparatory to going to the barn to finish the noon chores, he dropped from his chair into eternity. He had a weak heart and the engine of life simply ceased to go and the physical machinery of life stopped. But he was ready and anticipated such an end. Sister Horst had been in failing health for some time, suffering from tuberculosis, although she had attended the services at the house of God, but two weeks before her death and on the day of her husband's funeral seemed better and in good spirits; but as the reaction set in the day after the funeral, she began to sink and before the day closed she had gone to be reunited with him in the world beyond. The family have lost their loving parents, the Church a faithful minister and the community two of its Godly citizens, but we feel assured that our lost is their eternal gain. May God comfort the bereaved ones. The funeral of Bro. Horst took place on Dec. 5 and was conducted by Caleb Winey, D. S. Brunk, J. M. Brunk, and D. H. Bender. Text, Psa. 116:15. Sister Horst was laid away on Dec. 9, and the services were conducted by J. M. Brunk, Caleb Winey, and D. H. Bender. Text, Rev. 14:13. Gospel Herald - Volume VIII, Number 40 - December 30, 1915 (Transcriber's note: The death dates in the Obit showed that both Horst died on Dec. 1, 1915, but the article states that Mary Horst died the evening after the day of his funeral which was held on Dec 5, so this calculates that her death would have been Dec. 6.)
