On Dec 22, 1887, he was married to Martha A Hess who departed this life June 10, 1927. To this union were born six children, three sons and a daughter preceding them to the spirit world. He is survived by two daughters (Barbara E, and Edna M, wife of Harry G McMichael) and two grandchildren (Marion I and Abram H McMichael), three brothers, and two sisters.
He was a farmer and lived on the same farm for 42 years. He was a good and kind neighbor, but never professed Christianity. He is sadly missed in the home as a faithful father. His sudden departure, resulting from a weakened condition of the heart, is a shock to the community.
Funeral services were held at the home Aug 5, with Bro Maris W Hess in charge and at the New Danville Mennonite Church with Bro Aaron B Harnish and Jac
Thomas in charge. Interment in adjoining cemetery.
"We miss you when the morning dawns,
We miss you when the night returns,
We miss you here, we miss you there,
Dear father, we miss you everywhere."
