Hershberger - At the residence of his son-in-law, J P Speicher, in Bowne township, Kent Co, Mich, January 5th, 1893, Abraham Hershberger, aged 78 years, 6 mos, 27 days.

He leaves one son and three daughters to mourn their loss, but we trust that their loss is his eternal gain.

He had to suffer much catarrh and nervous debility, until the Lord saw fit to release him.

He was a faithful member of the Mennonite church for forty-eight years, and his seat in the house of God was seldom vacant as long as health permitted him to attend.

Funeral services were held on the 7th in the meeting-house near Caledonia, on which occasion services were conducted by Pre Peter Keim of Bowne, Mich, in German, and Gilbert Bearss of Sherkston, Ontario, in English, from Phil 1:21.
