He leaves his wife, 10 children, 20 grand children, one sister and many friends to mourn his departure, but not as such who have no hope. During the time he was bedfast, which was 11 days, he patiently bore much suffering. He was a faithful member of the A. Mennonite church from youth until the time of his death. The funeral was held on the 11. Sam Gerber of Groveland, Ill., spoke in the English language from I Thess. 4:13-18 and at the Roanoke church from John 11:28, last clause. Andrew Schrock spoke in the German from Heb. 9:27,28. May the Lord comfort the bereaved ones and may we all live such lives that we may meet in that land where partings are unknown. [2]
