DRIVER. - In the solemn hour of death, we look to the Giver of all good for comforting and sustaining grace. For the first time in the history of the family, death has entered the home of our ministering brother D. F. Driver, and taken away the devoted wife and mother. Not only the family, but also church and community, feel and mourn the loss of one whose hands were ever ready to minister to the wants of the needy, and whose life was a living testimony of the reality of the Christian religion.
Sarah Branner was born in Rockingham Co., Va., Apr. 20, 1839; died Nov. 24, 1906; aged 67y. 7mo. 4d. She gave her heart to God during the fall of 1863, and has ever since been a consistent member of the Mennonite church. Feb. 10, 1859, she was united in marriage with D.F. Driver, who survives her, and to whom she has been a great help during his long and faithful service in the ministry. Their union was blessed with eleven children, all of whom survive her, and all of whom have accepted Jesus as their Savior. May the memory of a faithful mother be a constant incentive to them to keep on faithfully and humbly serving their Maker. In 1870, the family moved to Morgan Co., Mo., which has since been their home.
Our sister is gone, her life is ended, but her influence still lives. May we bow to the will of Him who doeth all things well, and so live that when we are called to exchange time for eternity, it may be gathered in into the happy family around the throne.
Funeral services at Mt. Zion church, Nov. 25, conducted by David Bowman and Daniel Kauffman. Text, Phil. 1:21.
