Mitchell, Mrs. William Myers, Mrs. William Kniss, and Wesley Beidler. Also thirty-five grandchildren and thirty-six great-grandchildren survive. One brother (Samuel) survives him. In 1876 Bro. Beidler with his family moved from Juanita Co., Pa., to Stephenson Co., Ill., where he had since resided. He has been a member of the Mennonite Church during the past 64 years, and was seldom absent from the church services when physically able to attend. He always seemed to be of good courage, ever looking on the bright side of things. Brief services were held at the Mennonite Church several miles distant. Bro. S. E. Graybill had charge of the services, being assisted by Bro. J. S. Shoemaker. Text, Psa. 116:15.
