On the 24th of February, 1893, in East Lampeter township, Lancaster Co., Pa., of heart trouble, sister Maria Landis, widow of the late Levi Landis, aged 76 years and 9 days.
She was for many years a devout member of the Old
Mennonite church. Religion appeared to be the keynote of her conversation and she was much attached to the holy cause and spend much of her time and attention in reading sacred works and in bringing up her children in the fear and admonition of the Lord. Shortly before she drew her last breath, she requested her son to read to her the 70th Psalm. Just about half a century ago her mother taught the writer the little German prayer which he now esteems a greater legacy than the glittering and perishable gold and silver: "Christe Alut, und seine Gerechtig Keit, 1st mein Schmuck, end Erhen Kleid, Damit will ich zum Himmel gehen, Damit will ich von Gott bestehen." We can learn that the good deeds people do are not all dead or lost. They may
lie dormant for sometime, but may rise again in the life of those we associate with in life.
