Bechtold.-Christian L. Bechtold was born near New Danville, Pa., April 10, 1860; was called home Aug. 24, 1941. He was a faithful member of the New Danville Mennonite Church. About twelve years ago during a series of revival meetings held at the Pequea, Pa., Brethren in Christ Church conducted by Bro. Emmanuel Rohrer he received a wonderful blessing when the Lord led him out of bondage into the glorious liberty of the children of God. Victory through the precious blood of Jesus was his testimony. His joy was to tell others "Jesus saved me." During his last illness he said, "In Jesus I'm safe evermore." A little while before his departure he said, "I'm going home," and soon he peacefully went to be with his Saviour. Surviving are 4 sons, 3 daughters, and 1 brother. His wife, 1 daughter, an 1 son preceded him in death. Funeral services were held at the home by Bro. Maris Hess and at the New Danville Mennonite Church by Bro. Cyrus Lutz, assisted by Bros. Henry Nauman, James Hess, and James Bingham. Text: 11 Cor. 2: 14. Burial in adjoining cemetery.
