Blosser. - Abraham Blosser was born in Mahoning Co., Ohio, Dec. 19, 1842; died Sept. 29, 1919. At the age of 21 he moved from Ohio to Livingston Co., Ill., where he resided until 1882. Oct. 27, 1864, he was joined in marriage to Mary Grabill, moving to McPherson Kans., in 1882, living in our vicinity most of the time since then, having made Texas, Okla., Colo., and Mo., his home at different times. He lived on his farm near Hesston, Kans., at the time of his death. Death was caused by paralysis, suffering about 6 hours. He leaves his deeply bereaved wife, 4 sons, 4 daughters, and 31 grandchildren. In 1865 he joined the Mennonite Church, serving in the capacity of deacon for some time. Later, being convicted he was not taking the right course, being of strong personal conviction, yet because of this living his faith alone, he was less active in church work, although believing to be honest with himself and God living his convictions as he believed. With this we commend him into the hands of a just God. Funeral conducted by F. H. Wenger and D. B. Holdeman. Text, Psa. 39:4,5.
