BRENNEMAN.--Abram H., son of Abraham and Mary Brenneman, was born Jan. 15, 1869, in Rockingham Co., Va. A few months ago he was converted and joined the Mennonite church, in which he lived a zealous and honored member until his probation ended May 12, 1892. At the age of 19 he came to Jasper Co., Mo. One year later he was happily married to Mary V. Weaver, of Oronogo, Mo. The fruit of this marriage is two children. He was in usual health, at work in the field, when he was taken very sick, had to be taken to the house, where he suffered untold agony for 24 hours, when death relieved him. All was done that skilled and loving hands could do, but of no avail. As death began wrapping him in its cold embrace he kissed wife and sister good-bye. When he saw their grief he said, "I am happy." To the widow our Father has assured his sustaining grace; to the orphan comes his promise to be a father; to to the mother the Master says: "Wait but a season and he shall be restored;" to the brother and sister comes the warning, "Be ye also ready." Our loved ones are not lost, but gone before when they die in the Lord. Funeral services were held at the grave by C. F. Barnes, from the words, "Be ye therefore ready, for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of Man cometh."
