Swartzendruber.- Anna Swartzendruber, daughter of Jacob and Lizzie Swartzendruber, residing near Kalona, Washington Co, Iowa, died May 12, 1907, of consumption; aged 30 Y., 1 M., 3 D. She was born April 9, 1877. She leaves father, mother, one brother and one sister to mourn her early departure, but they need not mourn as those who have no hope. She gave every evidence that it was well with her soul. Her desire was to get well and live with her parents and care for them; but she always said, "The Lord's will be done." If it would please the Lord to take her home she would be ready to go. She united with the Amish Mennonite church early in her youth, and was a faithful follower of her Lord Jesus till the death angel called her away. She will be greatly missed, but our loss is her gain. Before she died she said, "I will soon be at home; my Savior is near." She bade them all good-by before the spirit departed. Funeral services were held May 14 at the Lower Deer Creek M. H. by Bro. Joseph Gingerich and Gideon Yoder. Text, 2 Cor. 6:1-10. A large concourse of relatives and friends were gathered to pay their last tribute of respect. A. R.
