METZLER.-Nov. 4th, in Mahoning Co., Ohio, of consumption, Sister ANNA METZLER, wife of Solomon Metzler, and daughter of Pre. Peter Basinger, aged 28 years, 1 month and 8 days. She leaves a deeply bereaved husband and two children to mourn their loss. She bore her afflictions with great patience. About a week previous to her death she said, "I am ready to die, if only my husband and children could go along." The day previous to her death she said, "I am soon going to another world, the end cannot be too soon for me, for I know that my Redeemer liveth." She said to those who stood around her bed, "O make yourselves also ready to die, for you must all die once. These worldly things are all perishable, and I have never had any pleasure in them, now I can die in peace, now all is well with me." To her husband she said, "Don't let the children go to gatherings, such as dances, and frolics. I did not go, and Oh, how glad I am that I did not, now I can die in peace. O, do tell the young people, for I love them all, I wish they would all come to me once. I am glad that my parents instructed me so, and that I obeyed them. I am very thankful that I have such good parents. Weep not for me when I am gone, for then I am better off than you; we need not fear death if we are ready to die." She was buried the 6th, in the presence of a large assemblage of relatives and friends. Funeral services by J. Bixler and J. Culp. Text: Isaiah 38:1.
