"BUCHER.-On the 3d of Feb., 1894, near Litiz, Lancaster Co., Pa., Joseph Bucher, aged 73 years, 8 months and 13 days. He was confined to bed eight days, without any pain, from a touch of paralysis at the heart and tongue. He was a faithful member in the Mennonite church for over fifty two years. He leaves an aged bereaved widow, four sons and four daughters, thirty-nine grandchildren and twenty two great grandchildren to mourn his departure, but still with a good hope to meet him in that happy home with Jesus. His remains were taken to the burial ground at Hess' meeting house on the 7th, where a very great number of friends and neighbors assembled to sympathize with the bereaved, and show their love and respect. Funeral services were conducted by B. Lehman, Bish. J.N. Brubaker and Bish. M. Rutt. Text, Psa. 37:37.
"Farewell, my wife so dear, farewell,
Adieu, farewell to thee;
Children and grandchildren, all,
Farewell, farewell, to you.
Our father is gone and we are left,
The loss of him to mourn;
But we may hope to meet with him,
With Christ before God's throne.""
