Stineman - Ervin B Stineman was born Oct 20, 1886; died March 24, 1909, near McGrawsville, Ind; aged 22 y, 5 m, 4 d.

He had been ailing for several weeks, but had so far recovered himself that he was able to take outdoor exercise; but on March 18, he was suddenly stricken with a stroke of apoplexy, which proved fatal.

He was the son of Jonas and Barbara Stineman. He left nine half-brothers and five half-sisters, with his grandfather and many other relatives and friends, who are left to mourn their loss, which is his eternal gain.

He had bright prospects before him of a useful life, but all is ended. He united with the Amish Mennonite Church when 15 years old, and remained a consistent member to the time of his death. He was a devoted Sunday school worker, and was much concerned about the salvation of his youthful companions. He expressed himself as ready to meet his Savior. He was always willing to do something for the Master. He served in the capacity of superintendent for more than a year, and at the time of his death was assistant superintendent.

Funeral was held March 27, at the A M Church in the presence of 750 people. Services were conducted by N M Slabaugh and E A Mast from Rev 14:13. Buried in the Schrock cemetery.
