At the age of 20 years he united with the Amish Mennonite Church of which he was a faithful member until death. Nov. 15, 1888; he was united in marriage to Matilda Fisher. To this union were born two children (Blanche E., wife of Alpha R. King and Omer J. Yoder) who with his loving companion, 4 grandchildren, 2 brothers and 3 sisters, and many other relatives and friends deeply mourn his departure. On June 25, 1921, while unloading hay in the barn he was struck in the head by a pulley which severely fractured his skull. An operation was at once performed which saved his life, but met with little success in restoring him to a normal mental and physical condition otherwise. This accident caused him to lose the power of speech and he was never again able to carry on a conversation, only being able to speak a few words at times, but by the use of a wheel chair and a cane he was able to go about the house to some extent. By the few words he was able to speak and by motions and signs he was able to make his wants known to his wife and others. During these years of his affliction he endured patiently, one of his most constant companions being his Bible, in which he took a deep interest although he was only able to read such portions as he was well acquainted with before his injury. Some of his last requests to his wife and children were to remain faithful and meet him in glory and especially that his grandchildren be instructed in the fear of the Lord. For the church he also left a message which was that the members should be at peace one with another and with the ministry. On last Wednesday, when he was still able to be about the house where the rest of the family were attending the funeral of Bro. Wm. Hauber he gave instructions to his companion for the arrangements for his funeral, selecting hymns and also selecting Bro. Abner G. Yoder to preach his funeral. He was fully conscious that the time of his departure was soon to be at hand. Funeral services were held at the West Union Church April 1, 1924, conducted by the brethren Abner G. Yoder, P. P. Swartzendruber and J. K. Yoder. Text, Luke 23:45. Burial in nearby cemetery.
