Bender .-Sallie L. Miller was born near Springs, Pa., April 17, 1878; died in Newton, Kans., Nov. 29, 1918; aged 40 y. 7 m. 12 d. In her early life she gave her heart to God and united with the Mennonite Church and remained a faithful member until her death. On April 1, 1906, she was married to D. H. Bender. To this union were born 2 sons. She is survived by her deeply bereaved husband, 2 sons, 2 step-sons, 1 step-daughter, father, mother, 5 brothers, 4 sisters besides a large circle of more distant relatives and friends. She suffered from heart-leakage for several years. She was taken down with influenza and on Oct. 7, was moved to the Bethel hospital at Newton. A slight attack of pneumonia resulted from the influenza, this was followed by enlarged liver and general dropsical condition. All that medical skill, faithful Christian nursing, sympathetic help and the prayers of God's people could do were hers. At times her condition improved and hope sprang up anew, only to be defeated by relapse. On Sunday evening, Nov. 25, she suffered a severe chill and from that time on she kept gradually growing weaker until the morning of Nov. 29, when she peacefully fell asleep in Jesus. Her husband was with her almost daily and during the last day and night scarcely left her bedside. She was fully resigned to the will of God, expressed full confidence that all would he well, maintained her cheerful, contented disposition almost to the end of her conscious moments, the last of which were spent in prayer. We have the blessed assurance that she has gone where the "wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest." The funeral was held on Dec. 2 at Hesston in the College Assembly Hall, where a large concourse of people gathered to pay their last tribute of respect to the deceased. Services were opened by C. D. Esch. The sermon was preached by J. D. Charles from the text in Rev. 14:13. The remains were laid to rest in the cemetery near the Pennsylvania Church. Services at the house and grave were conducted by T. M. Erb. Gospel Herald - Volume XI, Number 37 - December 12, 1918, pages 670, 671 and 672
