*********************

Mann - Bro Christopher Mann was born on the 17th of April, 1843, in Springfield, Ohio; moved to Indiana with his parents when he was yet a boy; was married to Sister Magdalena Kreider on the 31st of Dec, 1868.

This union was blessed with seven sons and five daughters, of whom two sons and one daughter preceded him.

He united with the Mennonite church in 1876.

In November, 1893, he had a stroke of paralysis from which he never fully recovered, although he was still able to be about most of the time. Nov 17, 1899 he had another stroke of paralysis which rendered him completely helpless in body and mind. His faithful companion, assisted by her children watched constantly by his bedside and tenderly cared for him during the long months that followed.

On the 18th of September, 1901, he quietly fell into that sleep that knows no waking on earth, but from which those who with him have chosen the good part in health and strength will awake in glory in everlasting health and strength.

The funeral was held from late residence, 920 Hubbard St, Elkhart, Ind, from which the remains were taken to the Olive M H for interment.

A large concourse of sympathizing friends assembled to pay the last tribute of respect to the dead and to show their heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved sister and her five sons, four daughters and four grandchildren.

Funeral services at the house by J S Hartzler and J F Funk and at the M H by Noah Metzler and Henry Weldy. Texts, "Now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace for mine eyes have seen thy salvation."

May God in his infinite mercy and love, comfort the bereaved companion and children and reward them for their labor of love, and grant them a happy reunion on the shores of everlasting bliss.
