Wenger - On the 2d of July, 1899, of diphtheria, Walter, aged 2 years, 11 months, 17 days, and on July 4th, Bertha, aged 8 years, 2 months, 22 days, children of Henry and Susan Wenger, of Olive township, Elkhart county, Ind. Bertha was sick about two weeks, but bore her sufferings very patiently.
One daughter and three sons preceded Bertha and Walter to the spirit world. Of nine children only three are left.
Funeral services were conducted at the Olive meeting house on Sunday, Aug 13, by John F Funk, Henry Weldy and Jacob Shenk, from the words, "Suffer the little children to come to me and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of heaven." Luke 18:16. This was indeed a very severe affliction, but God cares for the little ones and we may think of them as "safe in the arms of Jesus." They have indeed the sympathy of the entire community.
