RIEHL. - On the 10th of July, in Ness county, Mo., of quick consumption, Catharine Riehl, aged 18 years, 3 months and 4 days. Her sickness was of only twenty-five days duration. She was an orphan and leaves several brothers and sisters and many friends to mourn her departure, yet they mourn not as those who have no hope. She accepted Christ and was baptized by Bro. J. Kenagy, bishop of the church. She was very patient and resigned to the will of God and gently fell asleep in death. While the dear sister had an opportunity left to make preparation for the great change, it is nevertheless a loud call to the young not to procrastinate the matter of salvation to the eleventh hour; for you know not if you may then yet obtain it, so that we would have to mourn as did David: "O my son Absalom! would God I had died for thee." Services were held by Joseph Beiler and Peter Zimmerman, from Isa. 40:1-11, and I Peter 1:23-25. (Reprint).

"Two versions of her obituary are found in the Mennonite paper 'Herald of Truth' 1 Aug 1889 and 15 Aug 1889. HT 15 Aug 1889 says she "was an orphan and leaves several brothers and sisters." We have no record of her family. Cause of death was "quick consumption." HT 15 Aug 1889 also mistakes 'Ness Co. MO' for 'Cass Co. MO.' Otherwise the writer has the location and ministers right. Local cemetery record mis-spells last name as Reihl instead of Riehl"
