On Friday, Oct. 26th, we buried our beloved brother, SAMUEL LAPP, aged 74 years, 6 mos., and 29 days. He leaves a deeply bereaved wife and eleven children to mourn their loss. Two of his children were in eternity before him. His remaining children are all married except one daughter. Funeral services were conducted by Christian Snavely and Mathias Eby in German, and Joseph Sherk in English, from Phil. 1 :21.
Bro. Lapp had a stroke of palsy two years ago, by which his mind was somewhat affected. However, he visited to church, and remained with his children to the end. His death caused by constipation. Samuel Lapp and Bro. Martin Lapp, who died about two years ago, were the founders of our church here at Freeport.
Sunday, the 21st of October, I visited Bro. Lapp. He complained of his poverty and frailness, and thought, he found himself still behind the measure after which Paul strove. I admonished and comforted him with the counseling words of God, and endeavored to strengthen him in his last conflict. At my departure, he said with tears in his eyes, "You are now preparing for your journey home, and I find I too am on mine." There upon he desired the grace and mercy of God and prayed for a happy end in Jesus Christ. Amen. -------- Mathias Eby.
