Slaubaugh.--James Elvin, son of Mrs. Lida Swartzendruber Slaubaugh and the late Simon Slaubaugh, was born near Wolford, n. Dak., March 16, 1925; met his death by drowning July 8, 1946; aged 21 y. 3 m. 22 d. On Aug. 29, 1937, he was baptized and received as a member of the Lakeview Mennonite Church, near Wolford. He loved God and served Him faithfully, and was assisting in Bible school work at the Ogema, Minn., Mission at the time of his death. Surviving are his mother, 8 brothers (B. Cletus and Tobias J., both of Washington, Ind., Vernon E., Rochester, Minn.; Daniel E., Joseph G., Elmer H., Albert J., and Calvin R., all of Wolford), 4 sisters (Dorothy M., of Wolford; Mrs. Joe Graber, Ogema, Minn.; and Mrs. Mary Graber and Mrs. Sylvia Graber, both of Mylo, N. Dak.), and many other relatives. His father, 2 brothers, and one nephew preceded him in death. It is hard to understand why he should leave us now, but his influence will live on and cause us to dedicate our lives to God anew. Funeral services were in charge of John Stoll and Eli G. Hochstetler. Texts, II Sam. 18:29 and Luke 12:40.
