Bish John Warye- On the 22nd of April, 1903 five miles north of Urbana, Champaign Co., Ohio, Bishop John Warye at the age of 79 Y., 22 D. Deceased's death was due to a failure of health incident to his advanced age. He was born in Hesse Darmstadt, Germany, in 1824, emigrated with his parents to America in 1825, and located in Mifflin Co., Pa. He was united in marriage with Rebecca Lantz in 1849. To this union were born six sons and one daughter;two sons in infancy were called to the spirit world. In the spring of 1851 they emigrated to Champaign Co., Ohio and in the spring of 1859 they moved on the farm where they have since resided. He accepted his Savior at the age of 17 years and united with the Amish Mennonite church. June 3, 1855, he was called by the church to the ministry of the gospel, and May 21, 1861, he was ordained to the office of bishop. He continued to preside over the church faithfully, always filling his place in the church and home as long as health permitted. He was zealous for the cause of Christ, and in the last year of his life he rejoiced to know that he was nearing his heavenly home, and was longing to be with his Redeemer, thus giving full assurance to the church and to the family who so kindly cared for him during his sickness that he is now sweetly resting in Jesus' arms, so they need not mourn as those without hope. May this solemn manifestation of God's providence bring blessings to every soul that is seeking for a higher and purer life. His companion, was summoned from his side to come up higher, twenty days prior to his departure. Four sons and one daughter, and thirteen grandchildren mourn the departure of a kind and affectionate Father. Interment on the 25th in the Hooley cemetery, where his remains were laid by the side of his loving companion, whose remains were laid away just three weeks before. The funeral services were conducted at the Oak Grove M.H. and were largely attended, considering the inclement weather. Services were conducted by David Plank, Abednago Miller and Jonas Yoder, from 2 Sam. 3:38, latter clause.
