Metzler.-Sister Lizzie (Erb) Metzler, wife of Deacon Daniel S. Metzler, was born Feb. 4, 1860; died March 30, 1920, at her home in Lancaster Co., Pa.; aged 60 y. 1 m. 26 d. Brief services at the house April 3 by Bro. John Snavely, and at Erisman's Mennonite Church by Brethren Peter R. Nissley and Isaac Brubaker. Text, Rom. 8:1, 2. She is survived by her husband and these children: Mrs. Minnie E. Kreider, Harvey E. and John E. Metzler; also nine grandchildren. Death was caused by pleuro-pneumonia after an illness of five days. Her deep concern for her children, both temporal and spiritual, had its reward, for she had the satisfaction and joy of seeing them all settle in life and accept the religion of Jesus Christ. It is hard to realize that we shall see her face no more, but among the most precious thoughts will be the memory of sacrifices she made for her loved ones.
"God saw fit to call her higher,
But it seems it can not be,
As our home is now so lonely,
Since her form we can not see."
