He accepted Christ as his Savior at the age of 14 years and united with the Mennonite Church, in which faith he died. Menno's cheerful disposition won for him friends wherever he went. He was a special friend to the little children and old folks as well as the young people. He will be sadly missed in the home where he was so much needed, and in the community. Our last picture of him in life was "with a cheery smile and a wave of the hand," as he left his home and though 'we, who will always yearn for the old-time step and the glad return-we cannot say that he is dead-he is just away." In his last hours, when he and his companions were striving to reach the shore, we believe in their prayer for help that the Great Pilot who hears the cries of His children landed them safe on the other shore. He leaves his parents, 4 brothers and 5 sisters (Arthur and Milford of College Park, Md.; Lois, Ruth, Harry, Osie, Oliver, Edith, and Dora May at home), grandparents (Pre. Daniel Shenk and wife and Pre. Isaac Hertzler), 2 nephews, also a large host of other relatives and friends in the community and other states. Services were conducted in the home on May 30 by Bro. George R. Brunk and at the Warwick River Church where joint services were held for him and his cousin Wilmer Shenk by Bro. Brunk assisted by Bro. Clayton Bergy of Fentress, Va., in the presence of a large concourse of friends and neighbors. For though from time and place The flood may bear me far, I hope to meet my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar.
