Gospel Herald - Volume III, Number 39 - December 29, 1910 - page 627, 628Burkholder. - Abraham Grove Burkholder died Nov. 26, 1910, at the age of 80 y. 11 m. 3 d. He resided with his son on the old homestead near Markham, Ont. For the past seven years Bro. Burkholder has been failing, owing to paralysis of the brain. Old age and the infirmity with which he was afflicted were the immediate cause of his death. He was one of the most widely known residents of the district, and has even been a worthy example of the faith which he professed. Though of a quite and retiring nature his life was a strong testimony for Christ and the Church. Of the six children of his first marriage, 4 daughters and 1 son survive. Four sons, of whom Bro. L. J. Burkholder is the eldest, and 1 daughter of the second marriage, also mourn the loss of a loving father, their mother having passed away a number of years ago. The large number of friends and neighbors who met at the home and at the meeting house for the funeral services which were held on the 28th, bore testimony to the esteem in which he was held by all. The family have the sympathy of all, and are comforted in Christian hope. Services at the home and at the Wideman Church, conducted by Samuel R. Hoover and S. F. Coffman. Text, Eph. 6:2.
