RESSLER.-On Aug. 3, 1898, at the home of Bro. Abram Metzler near Martinsburg, Blair Co., Pa., of typhoid fever, Sister Lizzie B., wife of Bro. J. A. Ressler. Funeral services were conducted at the home of Bro. Metzler Thursday evening, Aug. 4th, by Aaron Loucks, assisted by Abram Metzler, Jr. and at the Strasburg M. H. in Lancaster Co., (the place of interment) on Friday at 3:30 P. M., by Abram Mitzler, Jr., assisted by Aaron Loucks. Texts, Phil. 1: 21 and Rev. 14 :13. Bro. and Sister Ressler left their home at Scottdale, July 16th, for a visit of about three weeks. They stopped first at Johnstown where they visited the Blough congregation; on Monday the 18th they went to visit the church in Blair Co., where Sister Ressler expected to remain while Bro. Ressler visited some churches in Cumberland and Lancaster Cos., and attended the Mission meeting held the 28th. In the afternoon of the 28th, while at the Mission meeting, he received a message, stating that his wife was ill with typhoid fever, he started at once for his companion's bedside, arriving there Friday morning (29th), but after six days of ministering, all that loving hands and medical skill could do, she calmly fell asleep in Jesus, Wednesday evening, Aug. 3, at 6:30. She gave abundant assurance that all was well with her, and was resigned to the will of her heavenly Father. In answer to some questions asked by her husband concerning the future, she said, "I am prepared to go," "Jesus is mine." She seemed to realize from the beginning of her illness that she would not recover, yet she was not disturbed by this, but patiently endured her suffering without a murmur or a question why. Through our heavenly Father's providence the writer was permitted to visit her and be at her bedside when she passed away. She recognized and named him and spoke a few words to him, though it was only two hours before her departure; she was conscious to almost the last moments of life. She was a devoted and loving wife and mother, a humble follower of her Saviour. For her to live was Christ and to die was gain. A sorrowing husband and little daughter aged 3 years mourn her early departure. She has just gone before to meet her three little ones whose lives only blossomed here to bloom in eternity, that heavenly land where "God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes: and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying; neither shall there be any more pain." "And they shall see his face.
May the Comforter, the holy Ghost, comfort their hearts, and though the storms of affliction seem severe, and the waves of trouble almost overwhelm them, yet, trusting Jesus, He will safely land them on the other shore. The church at Scottdale deeply sympathize with Bro. Ressler who has labored faithfully with them as assistant pastor for three years. Sister Ressler's age was 27 years, 6 months and 20 days.
